Rumor: MGS 4 Xbox 360 Confirmed?

Home : News : Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots : News Story



According to internet reports, Konami will be releasing an Xbox 360 version of Metal Gear Solid 4 some time in 2008.


According to reports from British multimedia website Digitalspy, Konami has decided to port its former PS3-exclusive, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, over to the Xbox 360 some time during 2008.

The report details that the Xbox 360 iteration will contain exclusive content not featured in the PS3 version, and mentions that a “stripped-down” version may possibly find its way on to Nintendo Wii.

"The game is set after the events of MGS2 and players will reprise the role of top secret agent Solid Snake with appearances by characters throughout the MGS series. With the addition of online capability, MGS4 is a leading product and will signal the dawn of a new gaming era for the MGS series”, Konami stated.

"MGS4 brings a totally new concept and situation, resulting in the toughest Metal Gear infiltration mission ever devised."

Obviously, we’d like to note that at this stage, these reports should be taken strictly as rumors, as we are currently unable to substantiate anything Digitalspy has reported. Additionally, the website failed to cite its information, though it seems questionable as to why such a popular website would post fake information. Similar reports have also cropped up on websites including Digg.com.

We’ll keep you posted on any developments.
