Miniatures-Based Board Game in Development by IDW Games<\/em><\/strong>\n<\/div>\n
San Diego, CA (December 11th,\u00a02018)\u00a0IDW Games and Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. announced today that they have partnered to bring\u00a0Metal Gear Solid<\/em>\u00a0to the tabletop with\u00a0Metal Gear Solid: The Board Game.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>Designed by\u00a0Emerson Matsuuchi\u00a0<\/strong>(designer of the\u00a0Century<\/em>\u00a0game series, Reef, and\u00a0Specter Ops)<\/em>Metal Gear Solid: The Board Game<\/em>\u00a0is a fully cooperative, miniatures board game. Following the story of the first\u00a0Metal Gear Solid<\/em>\u00a0video game, players take on the roles of Solid Snake, Meryl Silverburgh, Dr. Hal \u201cOtacon\u201d Emmerich, and Gray Fox the Cyborg Ninja. They\u2019ll need to use their unique skill sets to avoid detection as they complete objectives across multiple campaign scenarios. Featuring a highly dynamic A.I. system and sandbox gameplay, missions can be completed in multiple ways and will always play out differently.<\/p>\n

Jerry Bennington<\/strong>, IDW Publishing\u2019s VP of New Product Development says, \u201cHaving partnered with Konami in the past to adapt\u00a0Metal Gear Solid<\/em>\u00a0into comics and produce all new stories in the\u00a0Silent Hill<\/em>universe, we are extremely excited to be partnering again to bring\u00a0Metal Gear Solid<\/em>\u00a0to a new gaming medium: tabletop. We know this a beloved franchise with a die-hard fan base, and as such we\u2019re putting all of our energy into producing a premium gaming experience that is exciting to play over and over again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Game designer\u00a0Emerson Matsuuchi<\/strong>\u00a0says, \u201cI\u2019m probably the biggest fan of\u00a0Metal Gear Solid<\/em>. Ever since playing the first\u00a0Metal Gear Solid<\/em>, it has forever altered the way I view games. The story it told was so memorable and the gameplay experience so rich that it has shaped my expectation of games as both a designer and gamer. So the opportunity to bring this masterpiece to the table has been an honor and dream come true. I\u2019m excited to be able to capture the tactical stealth action that is the hallmark of the franchise as well as create a new experience and story for the Snake fans. Age hasn\u2019t slowed him down one bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Metal Gear Solid: The Board Game<\/em>\u00a0will feature miniatures by the highly regarded sculptor\u00a0Francesco Orr\u00f9<\/strong>, and art from lifelong\u00a0Metal Gear Solid<\/em>\u00a0fan and comic artist\u00a0Kenneth Loh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Gaming media interested in playing\u00a0Metal Gear Solid: The Board Game<\/em>\u00a0will get their first chance at E3 2019. IDW Games will be booking play session for media outlets for Saturday, June 8, through Monday, June 10. Gamers eager to sample\u00a0Metal Gear Solid: The Board Game<\/em>\u00a0will have a chance to demo it at any of the following 2019 summer conventions: Origins Game Fair, Dice Tower Con, San Diego Comic Con, and Gen Con.<\/p>\n
