Gamescom 2017: Metal Gear Survive Screenshots Feature a Whole Lot of Zombies

Remember when the supernatural elements in the Metal Gear series were presented in a subtle manner? Neither do I because Metal Gear Survive ditches subtlety for hoards of flesh-eating zombies. The game that nobody asked for received a new batch of screenshots at Gamescom, and I have to say it looks… well, it looks like a Metal Gear video game with zombies in it.

It’s set to arrive on PC, PS4 and Xbox One next year, and you can view the Gamescom images below.

I’m not holding my breath for it to be a hit, as much as Konami desperately needs a win these days. In addition to giving Hideo Kojima the sack and barring him from attending the Game Awards Ceremony, it also recently came to light that Konami is also attempting to prevent former employees from purchasing health insurance. Sheesh.

However, in a rare smart business decision from Konami, the HD version of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty was released on Android earlier this month.

Synopsis:
Metal Gear Survive is a survival action game in an alternative universe. In a struggle to survive and understand this new environment, players engage in both a single play and connected co-op play. In the battle for survival scavenged materials must be wrought into usable items, gear, and weapons if you are to have any hope of making it home.

Key Features:

  • Two ways to play – Single Play and CO-OP Play. These modes are linked via Base Camp. Character progress and gear carries between the two modes.
  • Build and develop your Base Camp. This offers access to weapon and gear crafting. As well as offering you a command center for planning missions in Single Play and CO-OP Play.
  • Gather resources for use in crafting including blue prints and raw materials. These can be gathered in Single play by exploring the environment or won in successful CO-OP missions
  • Develop Base camp with new facilities to aid survival – including crop growing, animal rearing, food and water storage. As your camp develops you’ll gain access to high grade crafting items.
  • Manage resources, including human essentials such as food and water as well as raw materials used for weapons, defenses, and expendables.
