Christian Post Report – Kojima Productions has just revealed “Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain” fall release date, announced the game’s Collector’s Edition pre-order availability, and revealed a new wristwatch.
Hideo Kojima, “Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain” producer has revealed the official Sept.15 release date for the action adventure stealth game, and announced its Collector’s Edition and premium package has been made ready for pre-order.
In a tweet he posted on his social media account, Kojima put particular emphasis on Snake, as well as clues pointing towards the real time healing game mechanic that has been absent from the game since “Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater” in 2004.
The tweet shows an image of protagonist Snake riding the Helicopter with a dark green IV drip attached to his prosthetic arm, leading to speculations this may not be an ordinary intravenous blood transfusion, but may be a special kind of lubricating fuel to power up his prosthesis with extraordinary strength.

For fans who pre-order the Collector’s Edition that comes complete with Snake’s bionic arm, they will also be receiving color schemes, gold weapons, three cardboard boxes, Four Snake costume changes, a set of four weapons with shields, and other collector’s memorabilia.
While Amazon’s Collector’s Edition stock has sold out after it was listed as on sale at $99 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, fans of the game may still pre-order their set from Game U.K., at £99.99, and from EBGames Australia for AU$249.99.
According to Kojima, who has admitted to being exhausted on Twitter, “Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain” is to be his last game in the series. There has been news of organizational restructuring involving Konami and the games developer, following rumors of Kojima having abandoned the game mid-development. However, the games producer has released a statement on Konami’s website reassuring fans he is still 100 percent involved in creating the “greatest game I’ve directed to date.”
To show their commitment to their upcoming title, Konami has also revealed a teaser for the game’s own “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain” wristwatch. The special silver toned timepiece makes its debut on Snake’s wrist in close shots of gameplay clips, and is shown in actual photos on the trailer. It is expected to retail for $360 when it is launched, reportedly together with the game’s release date.
