Japan getting MGO stand-alone Blu-ray; expansion pack coming in late July
It's hard to imagine anyone who wants to play
Metal Gear Online who doesn't already have a copy of
Metal Gear Solid 4. Despite this, Konami Japan will be releasing a standalone Blu-ray version of the
Metal Gear Online "Starter Pack" found on the
MGS4 disc. This will go on sale for 1800 yen on July the 17th, over a month after
MGS4's original release.
The blurb for the game reveals a vague date for the first
Metal Gear Online expansion, which could be available in late July. Obviously there's no word on what the expansion will contain, but we're hoping for a couple more levels and/or gameplay modes. To be honest, we'll take anything we can get.
MGO is already a great game in its own right and any expansions will be gratefully received.
