metal gear solid 5 playstation store Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is a third-person action game with a focus on stealth. Part of the long-running Metal Gear franchise, it is a prologue to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and it takes place after Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker as a part of a sub-series or prequels in the main franchise set long before Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

The most important change for this title is the shift to an open world design with a real-time day and night cycle doing away with the linear mission approach of previous games. The protagonist is Big Boss (Snake) and the game is set in 1975 after the events of Peace Walker. Snake works with Militaires Sans Frontières and needs to infiltrate an American black site Camp Omega on Cuba where Cipher agent Paz and child soldier Chico, two returning characters from Peace Walker, are held. This is the only location in the game and it consists of a large base with different sections, courtyards, outhouses and concrete tunnels, surrounded by rocks and foliage offering many entry points. The game offers the single objective to free them and the player determines the approach.
