The final chapter in Kojima’s epic franchise set for June 12th release in US and Europe
After almost a year’s worth of speculation about its long-awaited arrival on PS3, Konami has finally confirmed that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will arrive on PS3 in both North America and Europe on June 12th.
In addition, the game will also include the mysterious Metal Gear Solid Online – a PSN focused multiplayer title.
Konami also confirmed previous rumours that it will be running a public beta of MGS Online – with more details on that expected shortly.
Sony recently confirmed an upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 bundle, featuring the now resurrected backwardly compatible 80GB PS3 model. However, it looks as if the bundle may sadly not make it across the pond.

Well, it's a little later than I hoped but about what I expected. Genuinely looking forward to this.

Seeing as they've just confirmed it will be June 12th I doubt that will happen now...

yeah but it always gets put back and they would literally sell a million more copies if they released it nearer xmas...i dont see the sense releasing it when everyone is out enjoying the sun

It'll sell a million copies regardless when it is released. Especially in June when there's no competiton.

They release MGS3 at a similar time. Seemed to sell well enough. If people want it at Christmas, they can still buy it at Christmas. They don't stop selling it in October, just to spite those people ;-)
