An espionage thriller set in an alternate near future. In a prologue chapter, legendary operative Solid Snake infiltrates a tanker on the Hudson River to photograph evidence of a new Metal Gear walking battle tank, only for Russian mercenaries to hijack the vessel and for his old rival Ocelot to seize the machine and sink the ship. Two years later, Snake is branded a terrorist while an offshore facility called the Big Shell rises to clean the resulting oil spill. When a group calling itself the Sons of Liberty storms the facility during a presidential visit, taking hostages and threatening its destruction, a rookie agent codenamed Raiden is sent in alone to rescue the captives and stop the terrorists. Aided by mysterious allies and haunted by his own past, Raiden uncovers a tangled web of deception reaching far beyond the Big Shell.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the sequel to Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and a prequel to the original Metal Gear. The game has a complex story with long cut-scene sequences, but there are fewer and they are shorter compared to earlier Metal Gear Solid titles. Most of the gameplay mechanics introduced in Ground Zeroes are carried over: it is still an action game and stealth oriented but replaces the linear corridor design from most earlier titles with large open world environments that offer the player unrestricted freedom for the approach. The world has now a real-time day and night cycle and various weather effects that influence enemy behaviour, visibility and sound. Sabotaging or destroying certain structures can also influence other parts of the map.
