The Metal Gear series has seen a lot of success and recently Konami announced Metal Gear Solid: Rising for the Xbox 360. Now Konami Digital Entertainment has announced Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for the Sony PSP. The game is a full sequel to Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and introduces a new and unique game system, in addition to an original story.
“With Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Kojima Productions has once again pushed the limits of the PSP system, creating a beautiful sequel to Metal Gear Solid 3,†European Marketing Director for Konami Digital Entertainment, Martin Schneider explained. “Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker lets players take the action and excitement of a console game to the PSP, and is a stunning addition to MGS Lore.â€
The game is set in 1974 and like the others in the series, revolves around tactical espionage. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker for the PSP continues where Metal Gear Solid 3 left off and gives players control of the famed Snake. Developed by Hideo Kojima, MGS: Peace Walker features an original story and game design, and will take the series in a new direction when it launches sometime in 2010.
