Following the recent leak, Konami confirmed that “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain” would be released on Sept. 1 2015. The company also announced that the PC version of “MGS5” would be available two weeks later, on Sept 15. In addition, the publisher released details of Japan-only limited edition PS4, two special editions and a dev-commentary trailer for “Metal Gear Online.”

The trailer, posted on the GamesHQMedia YouTube channel, is an updated version of an older “MGO” video. The updated video now features a developer commentary track by Kojima Productions online community manager, Robert Peeler.

The trailer starts with the players team choosing from a number of gear loadouts, using the game’s menu navigation interface; the iDROID. Peeler states that strategic teamwork is the core concept behind “MGO.” To that end, each player is able to use items that assist teammates, like TAG grenades and binoculars that marks enemy combatants through walls.

The video runs through tactics, traps, weapons and objectives. Peeler talks viewers through the trailer and states that a raft of “MGO” extras will be included in the aforementioned “MGS” collector’s edition.

As noted by AllGamesBeta, there will be two special editions of “MGS5,” a Day 1 Edition and a Collector’s Edition. While the Day 1 Edition is available both digitally and at retail, the Collector’s Edition is retail exclusive.
