Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu is teasing “something surprising for Metal Gear Solid fans” in its next issue.

The issue in question is due to hit shelves next week. Could this announcement have something to do with The Phantom Pain which was revealed at the VGAs last Friday? Based on the timing of the announcement and the sheer amount of Metal Gear Solid related hints found in the trailer it stands quite a good chance.

Are the two game’s related? Is this announcement going to be about The Phantom Pain? Share your thoughts below.
