Subscribe to our newsletter Metal Gear Solid 5 famously released in two highly disproportionate parts, with its short (but highly replayable) prologue Ground Zeroes releasing roughly a year before the full-fat Phantom Pain.This has always struck me as an odd decision. Prior to Ground Zeroes’ release, Hideo Kojima claimed he split off the prologue because he wanted to give fans something to play. Yet I’ve always believed pressure from Konami played a big role, especially given how The Phantom Pain itself was noticeably unfinished (though still brilliant) when it launched, and Kojima’s departure from Konami shortly after the game’s release.In any case, I’ve often wondered whether the two games would be spliced together at some point, especially since Konami renewed its interest in making games. And after a fashion, it has finally happened, though neither Konami nor Kojima were involved.
