  • Multiplayer returns to the Metal Gear franchise after twelve years

    After an absence of 12 years, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is bringing back multiplayer, but Konami cautions fans to expect a completely different experience than the original Metal Gear Online. Announced at Konami’s Press Start Live event, the new multiplayer mode titled Fox Hunt is something like hide-and-seek on steroids, with a dash of camouflage thrown in.

    According to Yu Sahara, director of the multiplayer aspect, “Fox Hunt is a completely original online multiplayer mode. Although it shares the same world with Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the gameplay is completely different.” That said, he did acknowledge the nostalgia fans have for the original Metal Gear Online. “When we say Metal Gear multiplayer, many fans will probably think of Metal Gear Online, but Fox Hunt will be its own new type of mode. We very much appreciate all the long-time fans of MGO who have always wanted to see it make a comeback, but the landscape of multiplayer games has changed a lot since MGO. It took a lot of careful consideration to think about what a new online mode should look like.”

    Sahara continues, “We challenged ourselves to make something unique that is more than just a shoot-out. We’ve used that back-and-forth tension or searching out the enemy to create an online experience unique to Metal Gear.”

    Though the team shared no further details, Sahara said he will have more information later and asked fans to stay tuned to Konami’s official pages to find out more. Konami also revealed more information about the main game, including updates to its AI and animations.

    In addition to news about Metal Gear Solid, the Press Start Live event also announced that the Suikoden I & II Remaster is coming to Nintendo Switch 2. Horror fans can celebrate, too: Konami also announced a remake of the first Silent Hill game is in the works.

  • All Metal Gear games in order, by release date and chronologically

    It is rare for any video game franchise to even survive for over 30 years, let alone maintain any level of continuity. The Metal Gear games set the standard for the best stealth games ever made, but creator Hideo Kojima also wanted to push the medium forward by introducing a level of storytelling previously unheard of in games. Like playing the Call of Duty games in order, each Metal Gear game can be tracked along our real-world timeline, though with plenty of liberties taken in terms of technology and historical events. With so many spinoffs and remakes that change the title, like Metal Gear Delta: Snake Eater, this is one of the toughest series to know how to approach as a newcomer. Thankfully, we’ve been following Snake’s adventures since the beginning and can easily tell you how to play the games in both release order and chronologically.

    Release order is typically the best way to enjoy the Metal Gear games, but isn’t as smooth of a progression as it once was since several remakes have come out. This will still preserve the narrative throughline, complete with surprise reveals and shifting back and forth in the timeline to slowly piece together the complex web of events Kojima spun. If you want the same experience we had playing the games as they came out, this is the order to play the series.

    Note that we will mention the remakes here but list the original game’s release first.

    All Metal Gear games in chronological order

    The Metal Gear chronology is notoriously confusing and murky. Even longtime fans have trouble putting all the pieces in order, but there is a very clear timeline the series follows. If you prefer your storytelling to be more linear and don’t mind some whiplash between entries in terms of graphics and mechanics, then playing the games chronologically is the way to go. Since the franchise wasn’t intended to be played this way, we don’t suggest it given the choice since many of the reveals and twists won’t be as impactful without past or future context from the games, but it won’t ruin the experience by any means.

    This is the full Metal Gear chronology, leaving out any games that are non-cannon or set in alternate timelines.

    • Metal Gear (1995)
    • Snake’s Revenge (1998)
    • Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (1999)
    • Metal Gear Solid / Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (2005)
