New MGSV:TPP Gamescom details: 25 minute demo, desert area, and discount for those who pre-order at the show

In a press release, Konami announced some new details on their Gamescom showing for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

A 25-minute presentation of the game will be shown in a dedicated theatre, showing Snake infiltrating a desert area (possibly Afghanistan again). There will also be a projection of the desert on the side of the theatre, which displays the day and night cycle (Kojima posted a photo of this screen).

Due to the sheer scale of its content and huge open-world environments, METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN will be shown via an all-new gameplay presentation. A dedicated theatre area will be used to show key aspects of Hideo Kojima’s latest opus, with the 25-minute presentation offering a tantalising glimpse at the unlimited ways of infiltrating that the new title offers, as Snake picks his way through one of the game’s desert-based locales. In honour of the game’s inhospitable environs, KONAMI will also project a vivid vista of a desert on the side of the theatre, which turns from day to night as seen in the game.

KONAMI will also be hosting a special evening event on the eve of the show. To be held at Cologne’s Musical Dome venue, series creator Hideo Kojima will appear on stage at the 1700-seater auditorium to give a one-off presentation of METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN in an evening that promises to answer many questions, and will also offer a few surprises! Doors will open for this adult-only event at 18:30 on August 13th. Deluxe seats will also be given away through various competitions, and KONAMI will ensure seats are available to interested parties on the night.

On top of that, Konami has also announced a 5 euro discount for gamescom attendees for the PS4 and XB1 versions of the game for anyone reserving a copy of the game (could this hint at an incoming release date announcement?). Aside from this, there will be a merchandise stall at the showfloor with new items, according to the press release.

Both METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN and PES 2015 will also be offering special pre-order discounts for the PlayStation®4 and Xbox One versions to gamescom attendees, with a five Euros discount available to anyone reserving a copy for at launch. A merchandise stall will also be in Hall 10, showcasing new items for both games and others from the KONAMI portfolio.

KONAMI will also use the show to promote other mobile titles, such as PES Manager, and the famed iDROID App that allows players to sync their mobile device with the best-selling METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES.

KONAMI´s booth is located in hall 7.1 A030/A031. The booth for business partners and media can be found in hall 5.2/A032.
