While this may be a bit of a surprise to some, Metal Gear Solid 4 has actually had an online multiplayer component for the past few years. However I wouldn’t grow too attached to the game’s online mode now, because Konami has revealed today that they will be shutting down the online mode of the game this summer.
This will begin with the Metal Gear Online shop disappearing on March 21st, with April bringing an end to new character creation and the online mode will finally shut down on June 21st. While this is certainly disappointing news to anyone still playing Metal Gear Solid 4 online, there are still plenty of months left to try and get a few more headshots before it closes down.
