The new game will also make full use of the new Circle Pad accessory for the Nintendo 3DS, allowing players an enhanced degree of control over the actions of their in-game character.
The story of this reimagined Metal Gear Solid installment will follow Snake as he is tasked with getting through the Soviet jungle in order to reach a scientist that has been abducted.
This is just the starting point for an adventure that will see Snake come face to face with a number of boss characters before the final twist will see him fight against one of the key figures from his own past.
