In light of that supposed rivalry, Kojima has reportedly pushed back "MGS 5: Phantom Pain" to November to give the developers more time to add additional content to "Phantom Pain."
The delayed release has geared fans of game to expect a more dynamic title filled to the brim with content. "MGS 4" has portrayed Big Boss Snake riding on his customized Metal Gear, hiring people to learn different languages, using a heavily armored box, and even washing the blood off his clothing.
With the pressure put on "Phantom Pain" to surpass "GTA 5," the team in charge of the fifth game may be facing a huge amount of work to get "MGS 5" ready to step up to the plate. According to sources, the game has just entered its editing phase, and fans may have to sit back on their heels until winter for its official release.
According to a statement released by game designer, Hideo Kojima published on Movie Pilot, "MGSV 5" will be less of a linear game and more an "open-world free infiltration" one, giving players enough freedom to be spontaneous.
Issues have been cropping up that the developers are currently resolving in order to keep the game's level of freedom constant throughout.
With the added improvements and upgraded gameplay in the works, fans will just have to exercise patience and anticipate the promise of "Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain's" November release.
