Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Demo available for European PSPs this afternoon.
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced that it will release a playable demo of Hideo Kojima’s eagerly-awaited METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER today.
With METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER recently confirmed as a May 28th launch, Konami is giving people the chance to get an early taste of the new game with an extensive English language European demo. Available via the PlayStation®Store, the free demo titled “METAL GEAR SOLID PEACE WALKER: DEMO-OPS” showcases four mission types featuring new content previously playable only on the show floor of the Tokyo Game Show, and more.
METAL GEAR SOLID: PEACE WALKER marks the return of the world-renowned stealth-action series. Hand-crafted by series creator Hideo Kojima, the all-new sequel delivers an original game design, story, and scenario as it picks up where Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater for the PlayStation®2 leaves off.
The game is set in Central America in 1974, as players take control of the famed Naked Snake (Big Boss): the legendary hero who had once saved the world from the brink of nuclear war. Snake has now turned his back on his mother country and established ‘An Army without a Government’ in South America, and is approached by visitors from ‘A Nation without a Military’ to investigate suspicious activity in the peaceful paradise of Costa Rica. Amidst the turmoil of the cold war, Costa Rica alone had managed to be a beacon of peace in a region torn by conflict, but all of that may change.
