The time has come: The adventures of the Metal Gear series continue in another dimension – Metal Gear Survive transports you not only into a dangerous new world but also into a fight for sheer survival. Here is the launch trailer
Survival games are in. ARK: Survival Evolved has led the way, and other developers want to join in this currently popular genre as well. So does Konami, who is using their Metal Gear brand to present you with a survival game that you can experience either alone or together with other players.
The launch trailer prepares you for the adventure
At launch, the studio released an exciting trailer that shows you what to expect in the game. You find yourself in another dimension, where gruesome creatures and zombies reign. Your task: You must survive. But that is not so simple.
You build a base that you expand into a fortress to protect yourself from enemies. But you also need resources and food, which you find in the wilderness, where the dangerous creatures roam. You do this either alone in the single-player campaign or together with other players in online mode.
Survival in a world full of zombies
Metal Gear Survive can be compared with other survival games:
- You explore a large, open game world
- You gather resources and food
- You get hungry, which you must satisfy
- You craft new and better items
- You build a base that you expand gradually
- Your character can be improved through attributes and skills
- You fight against “crystalline” zombies and other creatures
Initial Criticism at Launch
The launch occurred first for the PS4 and Xbox One in the USA. The PC version follows on February 22, just like the international launch. The developers stated that updates will be released starting next month, which will also introduce new content. This includes additional co-op missions and exciting events.
However, the action game does not start without criticism, as many fans of the Metal Gear series believe that only the name is being used to market the game. The story of Metal Gear is said to have little to do with Survive.
If you are planning to purchase Metal Gear Survive, there are a few things you should know.
