Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain “Cut” Content May Be Hiding On Purpose After All

September 21, 2015 by Ryan Parreno

Apparently the game was delayed to deliberately hide this content better.

Remember when we reported on some Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain content being cut from the final product? There’s reason to believe that some of the content is in the game after all.

In fact, fans have been working hard to learn more about the deeply hidden chapter 3, titled Peace. Apparently, the developers grew afraid that fans would easily datamine the content of this chapter, and so the abrupt delay in releasing the game was to ensure that they would not be able to do so.

So, if this theory holds true, the chapter has been deliberately hidden, and it may be possible for fans to unlock it. Why would Kojima make content just to hide it? We don’t know. There is, however, reason to believe that the rumor is true.

Producer Ken-ichiro Imaizumi has gone on record that he cannot talk about this on Twitter. Implicit in this statement, of course, is that the rumor or parts of it are true.

Sorry, I can't tell you. https://t.co/v7FxjVtrJ0

Sorry no comment. https://t.co/vwOTGxtNZY

Of course, it may be unfortunately possible that this content was simply left unfinished due to troubles in development, but if we are lucky, there is a chance we have not found out everything there is to know about Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain quite yet.

 Do you think this fan theory for Chapter 3 holds water? What could possibly be going on? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.
