Remember that big Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain announcement? Well, it looks like it's just leaked. The web is currently going gaga over a screenshot from an IGN video, which hints that the latest entry in Hideo Kojima's colossal stealth series will deploy on 1st September on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. This will be a global launch, so no region will be made to wait.
The clip has since been removed, but we watched it, and it seemed legit to us. In it, series creator Hideo Kojima stresses that it'll be the last Metal Gear Solid – as he always does, of course. "This will be the final Metal Gear Solid," he said. "To me, this is the last Metal Gear." He also mentioned that Snake won't be doing much talking this time around. "He'll be more of a silent protagonist similar to Mad Max in Mad Max 2," he added.
Please be excited for the official announcement tomorrow, we guess.

Greatness has been dated, if true.
Reckon that's legit... Bring it on!
I'm confused, the title says "Rumour" but the article reads like this is an actual date. Wasn't there a 24 our clock or something on the MGSV webpage that was supposed to go off today? On nevermind, I missed the "23 hours AND A DAY edit". My mistake.
@Punished_Boss_84 - Thats funny, you posted that about 1 second after I saw it on the Neogaf page but I'd ever seen it before. Nice timing.
@rjejr
That gif has been a thing since E3, There is even a Doritos version.

We've lost Snake.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeesssssss
F Yeah!!
@rjejr Well, to be honest, it seems 99.9% legit to me. Obviously, this hasn't come from Konami, though, so still rumour...
EDIT: I updated the article anyway, just to take into account the possibility that it could be wrong.
Ahh, I hope it's true!!!!
Ages
Updated with some Kojima quotes.
Not many games I'd book a couple of days off for but can't wait for this!
Kojima planned for MGS 4 to be the last in the series, but returned for another, he's friends with Masahiro Sakurai... This sounds eerily familiar...
Fake?!? Faaake!?! FAAAAAAAAKKKKEEEEEEE!?!?!?
@get2sammyb - Oh thanks, but you didn't have to do all that for me, you know I've always been easily confused I'm even starting to feel guilty for all the extra work you guys have been putting in adding PS3 and Vita to all the titles (see Helldiver Hints and tips as just 1 example)
Oh, and Mad Max the same day, yeah that date will be changed by weeks end.
I'll probably keep my hype chained up until it's actually confirmed, but it does seem real.
TBH I dont see septembrr happening. This is still going to be 2016 if you ask me
Thanks for sharing the possible release date, hopefully it is legit.
If this is legit will probably pick up a PS4 and this game for my Bday.
Snake wont be talking much......i was worried this would happen after i played GZ. Snake said close to nothing in that "game".
Why replace Hayter if Snake isnt doing much talking. Everytime i hear something new about TPP, the less i want it :/
Here we go.

Get a new voice actor inspite of fan outrage, then make him silent... Smart.
...still hyped tho...
They why replace David Hayter?
I lost much of my hype since they switched voice actors. He's been my snake since 1998.
But I'm still going to buy it.
I WANT IT NOW.
Along with Xenoblade and Zelda U, MGSV is my most wanted game of this year - I've actually avoided all videos 'cause I don't want to spoil anything!
