June 28, 2008 - Those who want to get their sneak on against friends without investing in the full Metal Gear Solid 4 experience will get a chance soon as Konami releases a package version of
Metal Gear Online. In Japan, the solo version of the Metal Gear Solid 4 online component will go on sale on July 17, carrying a price tag of 1,800 yen.
This little bit of news was announced during a Metal Gear Solid 4 talk and signing event held in Tokyo early today by series producer Hideo Kojima. This "world tour" event, held in place of a series of Japanese launch events that were canceled at the last minute, was scheduled to reach five spots throughout Japan, then continue on to other areas of Asia.
During the talk session, Kojima also revealed that in Japan, Metal Gear Online gets up to 12,000 people connected simultaneously during peak hours of around 11:00PM. He also made first mention of an upcoming worldwide tournament, titled Metal Gear Online World Championship 2008, but stopped short of sharing the specifics.
Pricing and dates for the standalone version of Metal Gear Online in other territories were not announced today.
