On this specific day in 2012, we saw the incredible teaser for the espionage and action game Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes, which some considered to be a paid demo version of the fifth part of the famous series.

Today coincides with the ninth anniversary of the release of Japanese veteran Hideo Kojima's masterpiece, Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes, where he worked on the development, direction, production and writing as well, and despite leaving the publisher that owns the title “Konami Company”, he returns to us today to share some information about this title.

There was a lot of confusion among gamers about what the game is about in the series, whether it's just a demo for Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, or a trial version of it. What also added to the confusion among fans is that it was a paid version, so many were disappointed when gamers thought Ground Zeroes was a full game, lasting only 2-3 hours, but Kojima's new tweets after all these years have come to clear up some of that ambiguity.

Kojima, through his Twitter account, shared several tweets in which he cleared up some of the confusion among players about MGSV Ground Zeroes and MGSV The Phantom Pain, confirming that it was originally planned to make Ground Zeroes as an introduction or "experiment" to the fifth main installment, MGSV The Phantom Pain, which is considered the biggest and was released in late 2013 on PlayStation 4.

Of course, there was a related goal of reviewing the FOX Engine and following the feedback on the main game, The Phantom Pain, and taking that feedback into consideration.

This is the first time Kojima has addressed the confusion and disappointment surrounding Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes, as he has only spoken about the series very rarely and superficially since his departure from Konami, but it is interesting that we get more information about both games, all that remains is to learn the secret of the separation between him and Konami.
