Metal Gear Solid Tabletop Game Announced for 2019 Release

IDW Games and Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. have announced plans to bring a tabletop game version of the popular Metal Gear Solid series to life in 2019, titled Metal Gear Solid: The Board Game.

Having partnered with Konami in the past to adapt Metal Gear Solid into comics and produce all new stories in the Silent Hill universe, we are extremely excited to be partnering again to bring Metal Gear Solid to a new gaming medium: tabletop. We know this a beloved franchise with a die-hard fan base, and as such we’re putting all of our energy into producing a premium gaming experience that is exciting to play over and over again.

The board game, designed by Emerson Matsuuchi, will focus on the story of the first entry in the long-running Metal Gear Solid, where players will use specific skill sets to avoid detection as they complete objectives across multiple campaign scenarios. Solid Snake, Meryl Silverburgh, Dr. Hal 'Otacon' Emmerich, and Gray Fox the Cyborg round out the fully playable cast of characters that will be available at launch.

A demo of the game will be available to the public at the following conventions in 2019: Origins Game Fair, Dice Tower Con, San Diego Comic Con, and Gen Con.
