Metal Gear is a franchise of stealth games developed by Konami and first released for MSX home computers in 1987. The player often takes control of a special forces operative (usually Solid Snake or Big Boss) who is tasked with finding the titular superweapon "Metal Gear", a bipedal, walking tank with the ability to launch nuclear weapons.
Several sequels were released for various consoles, expanding on the plot of the original game and adding characters to oppose or assist Snake, while several prequels explored the origins of Metal Gear and returning characters. The third game in the series, Metal Gear Solid for the PlayStation, marked the transition to 3D graphics and helped propel the series to international fame.
Snake himself is known for his tactical prowess and his iconic steel garb, and will now seek a new challenge in the colorful and chaotic battles of Fortnite. Of course, he will also receive a few of his own cosmetics in the game, which can also be unlocked via the Battle Pass.
As always, the Chapter 5 Season 1 Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks, a bargain for all Fortnite grinders who want to prove themselves on the new map with the Solid Snake skin.
