Konami has announced that the beta version of the upcoming online spin-off, Metal Gear Survive, will hit in January, giving players on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One a first taste of this otherworldly Metal Gear shooter and unlocking bonus content for those who go on to purchase the finished game (these items include "a FOX HOUND name plate, an accessory Metal Gear REX Head and Accessory bandana").
This new game in the Metal Gear universe takes place after the events of The Phantom Pain, with the action set in a parallel universe which is overflowing with zombies and weird mutants. The beta will contain the game's co-op mode where you will build, defend, and fight alongside others online, with the public testing phase due to run between January 18-21. The full release set to follow on February 20.
