Konami Digital Entertainment Ltd. today announced that it will release a playable demo of Hideo Kojima’s eagerly-awaited Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker today.

 

With Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker recently confirmed as a Mar 18th launch on PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, Konami is giving people the chance to get an early taste of one of 2009’s most highly anticipated games with an extensive playable demo. Available via www.konami-asia.com/mgspw and PlayStation®Store the free demo showcases four mission types featuring new content previously playable only on the show floor of the Tokyo Game Show, and more.

 

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker marks the return of the world-renowned stealth-action series. Hand-crafted by Mr. Kojima, the all-new sequel delivers an original game design, story, and scenario as it picks up where Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater for the PlayStation®2 leaves off.

 

The game is set in Central America in 1974, as players take control of the famed Naked Snake (Big Boss): the legendary hero who had once saved the world from the brink of nuclear war. Snake has now turned his back on his mother country and established ‘An Army without a Government’ in South America, and is approached by visitors from ‘A Nation without a Military’ to investigate suspicious activity in the peaceful paradise of Costa Rica. Amidst the turmoil of the cold war, Costa Rica alone had managed to be a beacon of peace in a region torn by conflict, but all of that may change.  

 

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker demo will be available today on the www.konami-asia.com/mgspw and PlayStation®Store. The full Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker experience will be released exclusively for PSP system on Mar 18th. For more information, please visit www.konami-asia.com
