Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the critically acclaimed open-world stealth masterpiece from legendary director Hideo Kojima, published by Konami. Set in 1984, you play as the iconic Big Boss — awakening from a nine-year coma to rebuild his forces and seek revenge against the shadowy organization that destroyed everything he built. The Phantom Pain is widely regarded as one of the greatest stealth games ever made.

Open-World Tactical Espionage

For the first time in the series, Metal Gear goes fully open world. Infiltrate vast enemy territories across Afghanistan and Central Africa with total freedom of approach — use stealth, distraction, fulton extraction, air support, or brute force. Every mission can be tackled in countless ways, rewarding creativity and experimentation.

Build Mother Base

Extract enemy soldiers and resources using the Fulton Recovery System to grow and develop Mother Base — your offshore headquarters. Research new weapons, equipment, and vehicles; develop your staff; and expand your base across multiple platforms to gain a strategic edge in the field.

D-Horse, D-Dog & D-Walker

You're never alone in the field. Bond with your loyal companions — D-Horse for fast traversal, D-Dog for scouting and takedowns, Quiet the sniper for fire support, and D-Walker the mech for heavy combat. Each companion offers unique tactical advantages that transform how you approach missions.

A Deep, Cinematic Story

The Phantom Pain delivers a complex, layered narrative full of shocking twists, moral ambiguity, and unforgettable characters. Told through stunning cutscenes and environmental storytelling, it's a story that stays with you long after the credits roll.
