Metal Gear Solid 5 Could Take Place in 1970’s Africa

April 20, 2012 by Ron Taylor

The next Metal Gear Solid 5 could take place in the 1970s.

Metal Gear Solid

Kojima is still as tight-lipped as ever on "the next Metal Gear Solid", but that's not stopping PSM3's Dan Dawkins from sifting through months of what he believes to be clues for Snake's next mission that Kojima has dropping in a breadcrumb fashion.

Dawkins' research is compiled in a ten page feature in the next issue of PSM3 and if CVG's preview is any idication, it's quite impressive indeed.

Dawkins' is using tweets, art work and the general time line of MGS to theorize that MGS5 will start Big Boss, take place in 1970's era Africa and possible depict the birth of the Snake we all know and love (RIP).

Dawkins has been correct about Grand Theft Auto V details before, apparently. I'm certainly pulling for him here. Even if MGS5 isn't what he thinks it is, MGS6 has a great starting point, thanks to him.
