Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain has an open world, which you can wander about as much as you like – as long as you’re not on a mission that is.
Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima shared a few details on how The Phantom Pain works during the most recent episode of his podcast.
According to Metal Gear Informer‘s report, players will be able to go anywhere they like in the world.
Once they accept a mission, however, things change: missions take place within a set area, and if the player leaves that area they will fail the mission. They may also fail if they waste an abundance amount of time.
