Konami unveils Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain special edition PS4 console

The Special Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain PS4 console

Konami has finally revealed the official release date, box art as well as the Day One and Collector’s Edition versions of its highly anticipated upcoming title, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. But the Metal Gear series developers aren’t stopping there. Both Konami and Sony Computer Entertainment have now unveiled a special Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Special Edition PlayStation 4 console.

The Special Edition Metal Gear Solid V PS4 console is inspired by series protagonist Snake’s bionic arm. The console looks pretty slick with a beautiful red coat finish on the top half with a black coat on the bottom. Both the console and the controller also sport the Diamond Dogs logos with a thin gold strip detail and a gold coloured PS4 logo, all of which go pretty well with the consoles red and black theme. The controller is coated in a cool silver colour, much like Snake’s gun.

Konami has not revealed a price or release date for this limited edition console yet, but it seems like the Metal Gear Solid V console will be exclusive to Asian countries. This isn’t too surprising as Japan has gotten a ton of limited edition consoles that have never made their way to Western countries. Hopefully this isn’t the case with the Metal Gear Solid V console. The console is likely to release around the same time as the game.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is slated to release on September 1st for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and on September 15th for the PC.
