Konami has confirmed new details for its forthcoming Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker on PSP.
The first major reveal is the Mother Base offshore plant, which acts as a hub for items and personnel collected within the game. During the course of MGS Peace Walker users can recruit felled adversaries and transport them to the Mother Base sea rig by using the Fulton Recovery System.
Recruited soldiers each have unique attributes that allow them to support Snake and other characters in a variety of ways. By gathering more staff, players will be able to expand Mother Base and gain access to new functions. Mother Base also acts as a development area for Snake, where weapons can be upgraded or collated information used to create all-new armaments.
The game will also introduce new AI weapons, giant unmanned behemoths that Snake must overcome to complete his mission. These will include hover, airborne, and tank-style vehicles. Each AI Weapon can talk and even sing during battle using VOCALOID technology, hinting at a surprising level of intelligence and a deeper role in the game’s intricate plot.
MGS Peace Walker will also feature extensive multiplayer elements, allowing four-player co-operative missions, and three-against-three battle royale, wherein six players can form teams and engage in huge linked battles via the PSP’s Ad Hoc capabilities.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is scheduled for release on May 28, only on PSP.
