The Metal Gear Online MEME Expansion has officially gotten a release date from Konami, and we’ve also learned some new details about what it will include.
The Metal Gear Online MEME Expansion will focus on squad-based, tactical-shooter action in the Metal Gear Solid Universe. Available as a bundle with Gene Expansion, MEME Expansion will be available for pre-purchase on November 18 (tomorrow) and will be officially released for download and play on November 25. It will cost $14.99, or for $9.99 via the Metal Gear Online in-game shop.
The MEME Expansion will contain new maps, special characters, new skills and the ability to play as customizable characters, among other features. The full list is below.
Two new special Metal Gear Online characters:
- Liquid Ocelot: Has the ability to manipulate the Sons of the Patriots lock system with the Guns of the Patriots ability. In multiplayer, the Guns of the Patriots deactivates targeted enemies’ entire weapon system.
