It continues, “The VR Mission Book contains six independent Missions that can be played at any moment with any player count. For an additional challenge, players can also choose to experience the Shadow Moses campaign, playing across a 14 Mission-campaign.”

The board game includes four player character miniatures, five boss miniatures, 12 patrol miniatures, one Meryl disguise miniature, two cardboard box miniatures, 14 double-sided tiles, four player dashboards, nine boss dashboards, one patrol dashboard, 176 cards, ad 184 tokens.

Metal Gear Solid: The Board Game is available to pre-order now via the CMON website and if you do, you’ll get the 'Integral Edition', which not only has a $10 discount but also comes with either a Metal Gear REX miniature or a 109-page graphic novel.

Its standard RRP is $100 (excluding shipping) and it does ship to multiple countries worldwide, other than a few exceptions. It is expected to launch around May 2024.
