Metal Gear Solid Online confirmed

Brand new PS3 Solid Snake title on the way from Konami, beta kicks off next month

Whilst the hype for the highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots continues, Konami has unveiled a brand new additional to the franchise – Metal Gear Solid Online.

As reported by Kotaku, the PS3 game will see up to 16 players stealthing it about in an assortment of environments that appear to be brand new to the series. Screenshots can be seen at the official website.

In addition, Konami has stated that a closed beta test will run from August 20th to September 3rd, which will see 3,000 players get to grips with the title. It is presumed to be a Japan-only venture, but with no official confirmation the chance remains that European gamers might get a look in.

For the moment Metal Gear Solid Online, much like MGS4, remains a PS3 exclusive. But with ongoing rumour and speculation about the possibility of an Xbox 360 port, a multi-format announcement could yet materialise.

That's great to hear, although the MGO closed beta is made up of primarily Japanese gamers. Hopefully some of the American gamers will get a shot at testing such a great series online. But please, stop bringing up the rumor of an Xbox 360 port. Metal Gear Solid 4 or Metal Gear Solid Online will not come to the Xbox 360. I don't know why this crap just won't die down.

Likewise I Imagine you don't actually know that it won't come out on 360? Your just guessing/hoping/assuming.

Maybe the rumours come from 360 owners guessing/hoping/assuming that it will come to 360?
