Metal Gear Survive delayed until early 2018
It needs a bit more polish.
Metal Gear Survive, Konami’s weird, post-Kojima spin-off, won’t be launching this year as planned. Instead, it’s been pushed back to early 2018, the publisher confirmed at E3.
It’s not a huge delay, only a few months, and the extra time will be spent polishing the game.
More polish is undoubtedly a good thing, especially since Metal Gear Survive is likely to have an uphill struggle converting fans of the series who are used to Kojima’s direction and are maybe a bit hesitant about a Metal Gear zombie spin-off. Tim certainly enjoyed it, however.
It’s playable at E3, so if you’re at the event, why not take it for a spin?
Cheers, Polygon.
