Konami announces its first post-Kojima Metal Gear game: Metal Gear Survive

Metal Gear without Kojima also means Metal Gear without Snake.

Japanese publisher Konami announced a new game in the Metal Gear series, Metal Gear Survive. It’s a co-op survival game “set in an alternate universe” with things that look like zombies. So … yeah, it doesn’t look much like Metal Gear, a series all about espionage at all. This is also the first Metal Gear game released since series creator Hideo Kojima left Konami shortly after the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain 2015. Survive is scheduled to come out in 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
