Konami has dropped the price of physical next-gen copies of their upcoming action-adventure stealth, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes.
The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions were priced at £39.99/€39.99/$39.99 and now the physical and digital versions will cost £29.99/€29.99/$29.99, the same price as digital next gen versions and physical PS3 and Xbox 360 copies (£19.99/€19.99/$19.99 for digital versions).
Konami said the reduced price “aims to provide as many people as possible an opportunity to experience” Kojima Productions’ new FOX Engine and “the first installment in the two-part MGS5 experience.”
If you pre-order the game early, you’ll receive access to exclusive DLC for use within The Phantom Pain. The DLC will only be available in the first batch of the retail version and for a limited period of time for the digital version.
The DLC provides players with additional resources for a Mother Base area that will be available in The Phantom Pain. “Mother Base is introduced during the events of Ground Zeroes and plays a central role in the forthcoming Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
Unlocked through downloadable code, the added staff for Mother Base will give Konami players an edge when they take on The Phantom Pain.”
Additionally, Ground Zeroes unlocks exclusive content within the game to carry-over to The Phantom Pain. “Prisoners of war and VIPs rescued in Ground Zeroes will be added to the Mother Base staff in The Phantom Pain, providing Ground Zeroes players an early in-game advantage; character skins will also be able to be carried over.”
The game features second-screen iDROID app, which replicates Big Boss’ in-game communication/map device. Downloadable via iOS, Android and Xbox Smart Glass systems for FREE, the iDROID app syncs the main action to a secondary device.
Users can call up maps, summon air support, or play any of the cassette tapes found throughout Camp Omega.
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will release on March 18, 2014 for PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
