Metal Gear Online for MGS V launches

Konami has announced the launch of Metal Gear Online, the dedicated, squad-based multiplayer component of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

All console versions of MGO servers are now up and running, and a download patch for MGS V is available. The online component is visible from the main game’s menu, allowing users to experience multiplayer action within the main game’s open world locations.

MGO is built around a squad-based competitive multiplayer structure. Following its inclusion with Metal Gear Solid IV for PlayStation 3, the mode has been fully redesigned with the familiar gameplay and aesthetic styling of the series. The online element introduces Tactical Team Operations and features a ‘class system’ that more uniquely defines the strengths and abilities of player characters on the battlefield.

MGO is available to play starting today for all consoles. The PC version is planned for launch in January 2016.
