Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes is a sequel to Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, which took place in November 1974. What we know about Ground Zeroes' story is that it most likely takes place mere days or weeks after Peace Walker since Chico has not visibly aged and Paz is described as having recently been found by fishermen in Belize. Furthermore, reference is given that the UN will soon be conducting a nuclear inspection on MSF/Outer Heaven's Mother Base. The villains of this story are a mysterious organization known as XOF that uses a mirror image of the defunct-FOX logo as their emblem. In the demo shown, they are keeping Chico and Paz prisoner at Camp Omega, an American military base on the southern tip of Cuba, obviously an analogue to Guantanamo Bay.
Hideo Kojima has stated that Ground Zeroes serves as a prologue to Metal Gear Solid 5, implying that there will be at least 3 Metal Gear games coming in the future, possibly 4 if Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is successful. With the announcement of Ground Zeroes, it also raises the number of Metal Gear games that Big Boss is the main character in to tie him with Solid Snake. Kojima has said that Snake's story is not over, so will MGS5 potentially be a game that has you play as both Big Boss and Solid Snake in different time periods? Or will MGS5 turn out to be similar to how MGS4 is a direct sequel to MGS2, but MGS3 introduced several concepts and characters to the series?
Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes is set to be released on current-gen consoles as the debut of the new Fox Engine.
