MGS4: Official Worldwide Release 06/12, Website Relaunch Tomorrow

Building off of what Geoff Haugan reported on earlier, it looks like June 12th, 2008, is in fact the official worldwide release date for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. And that’s straight from Kojima’s mouth.

Aside from the game hitting shelves in less than 4 months, we also got a few more juicy tidbits.

Pricing for the different versions of the game and the look of the bundled PS3 will be released on March 21st. The TGS ’07 trailer will hit the Japanese PSN store on February 29th.

Also, the special edition disc contains trailers and making-of videos.

The Metal Gear Online starter pack will contain 5 maps, but it doesn’t look like all of them (or any) will be new. Also, MGO expansions will come with new character packs and maps.

Finally, the official site for the game will be seeing a relaunch on February 29th. That’s tomorrow!

    5 map starter is on par with the amount of maps featured in the Dark Sector multiplayer component. Anyway, any word on a US collector’s edition? I want to pre-order the game to get into the beta test, but I would really like to pre-order a collector’s edition. Speaking of beta test, any idea how applications are run? Just pre-ordering the game to get into the beta test are pretty vague directions…

    I’m not sure about the collectors edition, but I know that if you preorder MGS4 you will receive the Metal Gear Saga 2.0 DVD, containing a Prologue that recaps the Metal Gear franchise, a 20th Anniversary retrospective, character bios for Big Boss, Liquid Snake, Solidus Snake, and Solid Snake, plus a collection of international trailers of MGS4.

    This pre-order package also contains an insert with a download code and special instructions for accessing the Metal Gear Online beta test when it goes live in late April.
