“Hosted by videogame journalist and SPIKE TV host, Geoff Keighley, the large-scale event will take place at Cologne’s Musical Dome venue on August 13th. The 1600-capacity auditorium will play host to a special event focusing on the latest details KONAMI plans to reveal on Mr Kojima’s most ambitious METAL GEAR SOLID ever. Mr. Kojima himself will exclusively present new gameplay of METAL GEAR SOLID 5: THE PHANTOM PAIN, which will show the impressive capabilities of Kojima Productions’ breathtaking FOX Engine and more!”

Hideo Kojima will also host a Q&A session during the evening and there will apparently be a few surprises in store for MGS fans. Konami will stream the hour-long event on their Twitch channel for those of us who can’t make it to Gamescom this year. More information on ticket prices and availability will arrive soon. Gamescom is Europe’s largest gaming event and takes place during August 13-17 this year.
