Konami today announced that it will offer both physical and digital versions of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for $29.99, bringing pricing in-line with the “current generation” price. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 will remain at $29.99 for retail and via download for $19.99. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will be available in retail stores and online beginning March 18th.
Konami also revealed that those who purchase Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes early on will receive exclusive DLC for use within The Phantom Pain. The DLC will only be available in the first batch of the retail version and for a limited period of time for the digital version. The DLC provides players with additional resources for a Mother Base area that will be available in The Phantom Pain. Mother Base is introduced during the events of Ground Zeroes and plays a central role in the forthcoming Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Unlocked through downloadable code, the added staff for Mother Base will give players an edge when they take on The Phantom Pain.
In addition, anyone that purchases Ground Zeroes will be able to unlock exclusive content within the game to carry-over to The Phantom Pain. Prisoners of war and VIPs rescued in Ground Zeroes will be added to the Mother Base staff in The Phantom Pain, providing Ground Zeroes players an early in-game advantage; character skins will also be able to be carried over.
Red Barrels today announced that the first DLC, Outlast: Whistleblower, will be released this April for PC and PlayStation 4.
Whistleblower will let you play as Waylon Park, a software engineer under contract with Murkoff and the man who emailed journalists around the world – including Miles – at the beginning of Outlast. Spending a couple of weeks at Mount Massive, during which he was unable to even talk to his wife and son in Boulder thanks to strict security protocols, Weylon developed a deep-seated distrust of the profit-motivated scientists and doctors leading dangerous and irresponsible experiments on their patients. Identifying with those poor souls fueled Weylon’s anger, and set the stage for his unmasking of Mount Massive’s rotten core.
Although Whistleblower tells the story that led to Outlast, it will actually stretch past the events of the first game to show the final chapter in Mount Massive Asylum’s story.
