Today the Metal Gear series is exactly 25 years old. The first game, simply called 'Metal Gear' was released in Japan on July 7 1987 for the MSX2 system.
In a new corporate update, Konami has revealed that since its launch in 1987, the Metal Gear series has sold over 60 million copies worldwide.
Well done Metal Gear, my second favourite gaming franchise behind Resident Evil, i still hope Bluepoint are working on a Metal Gear Solid remake for PS5, that would be my gaming dream.
When Bluepoint teased their next game at Christmas the unrevealed game was in a plain cardboard box with a upside down exclamation point........it surely could only mean one thing.......SNAAKKKKEEEEE.

The Metal Gear series has sold more than 56.9 million copies as of the end of December 2020.
It’s a hell of a series... except for V, but man I remember when Snake Eater came out. It really made me start looking at games differently like more than just being “gamey”. Awesome Intro and a hell of story. The end when the flowers turn from white to red, just mwah!
They're pretty good.
Best franchise ever created!!!
Stunning and simply amazing games designed with passion and with BIG love and respect!!!
Simply marvelous.
25 years ago, Hideo Kojima altered the way we play games and storytelling forever, the stealth genre was born with Metal Gear. On this very special occasion I would like to wish a happy 25th anniversary to every Metal Gear fan out there and wish Kojima-san another 25 years of greatness and stealthy adventures!
after 20 plus years of gaming
MGS is my #1 game series of all time, can't even wait for MGR even though its not a proper mgs title but since kojima productions are working on the story aspect that has me interested
Fantastic series - one of my favorites. Here's to another 25!
Metal Gear is an awesome series and i really hope Hideo Kojima put's his foot down after MGS 5 is released so he can start some new IP.
