Good news! The release date for the PC version of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, has been moved forward from September 15 to September 1, bringing the PC in line with the console release date.

Less good news: the online component which is hitting consoles on October 6 won’t be with us until January 2016.

“We initially did not think it would be possible to get such an epic game out onto PC in time for launch alongside its console counterparts, but all involved have worked diligently to meet the demands of our PC consumers,” states Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. president Tomotada Tashiro via press release.

“We feel confident that Steam users will be satisfied with the contents we will provide for the Steam version”

Konami also mentions that pre-orders include a free copy of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes (which we gave 87 in our Ground Zeroes review) and a “collector’s video” of “behind the scenes footage”—we’re hoping it’s just a supercut of Kojima eating various sausages.

Pre-order DLC includes a “Venom Snake emblem” and “Mother Base staff”.

The Phantom Pain, like Ground Zeroes, will support 4K resolutions. There will also be some extra unspecified Nvidia GeForce visual effects wizardry. That normally means extra physics effects and fancy reactive smoke.
