Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain: "Stained in Blood" poster released by Hideo Kojima

In what is surely one of the most anticipated and controversial games coming out in a few months time, Konami and Hideo Kojima have released a brand new poster promoting the latest entry in the long running Metal Gear Solid series with "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain", which features Venom Snake/ Big Boss and the new character Quiet on the one sheet, all covered in blood and looking ready to take on anything coming against them.

The poster, tweeted by Kojima and posted on Comic Book.com, comes with the tagline in Japanese that's translated as "Stained in Blood, The Aftermath of Revenge", which pertains to Snake and his army MSF/ Diamond Dogs mission seeking vengeance for the atrocities committed against them. The poster also evidently lacks the "A Hideo Kojima Game" label that is always associated with every MGS game, as internal tensions and issues between Konami and Kojima-san will see the latter depart from the company after work on The Phantom Pain in finished.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be released on September 1.

Continuing the Metal Gear 25th anniversary celebration and as part of this year's PAX event, More details were revealed this weekend, as Konami and Hideo Kojima laid out the groundwork for his next installment in the Metal Gear Solid franchise with Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.

Metal Gear Solid 5 confirmed by Hideo Kojima and using Fox Engine

Despite saying the opposite and stating that the story of Solid Snake is finished, Hideo Kojima apparently isn't done with the legendary soldier yet, and has confirmed in an interview with Eurogamer that Metal Gear Solid 5 is in the works!

According to the interview, the next installment in Konami's Tactical Espionage Action series of stealth games will be built using Kojima Production's proprietary and under development "Fox Engine", with the game being more of an "Infiltration Game" ala Deus EX: Human Revolution. It's not known yet whether Kojima is going to direct or lead the project in some form or way, but his involvement is without question. The next Metal Gear game, a spinoff title starring Raiden called Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, is due for release sometime next year.
