Ohh fuck! Open World for MGS? Why? And the next thing will be a kill em all MP.

It appears to me that the unreal engine wont matter si much anymore



Big Boss and Zero = 2 phantoms were born

......because since the death of the Boss, they were already dead, or were living dead (or so says Big Boss in the epilogue of MGS4). That is why the phantoms reference.

And the text is written in mirror image, because even though the 2 were trying to do the Boss will, each one of them was the opposite of the other. Just as an object and it´s mirror image, both pics represent the same object, and yet one is the opposite of the other.

Looks like kojima smoke weed before creating the story and the theme of the game XD

At Konami's MGS 25th Anniversary Event!!! 

NEW official picture from Konami: From "FOX", two phantoms were born.

  

My interpretation:

Big Boss and Zero = 2 phantoms

......because since the death of the Boss, they were already dead, or were living dead (or so says Big Boss in the epilogue of MGS4). That is why the phantoms reference.

And the whole pic (eye patch, MSF logo, text) is in mirror image, because even though the 2 were trying to do the Boss will, each one of them was the opposite of the other. Just as an object and it´s mirror image, both pics represent the same object, and yet one is the opposite of the other.

@Heavenly_King

Your interpretation is not very thought out.....MSF is the logo he is wearing. That is his group from Peace Walker, so we know its Big Boss after Peace Walker. Two Phantoms were born is referring to Solid Snake and Liquid Snake. This will be leading up to how they get cloned. This makes it a possibility that we will be playing as both Big Boss and Solid Snake unless it just leads up to it. Ground Zero mean where it all began so the beginning was the cloning. You are right about Zero though, I do believe that the enemy will be Zero. Was he the one who cloned Big Boss? Who cloned Big Boss? How did all this happen and why?

WTH are you talking about??

I never said that the one in the poster was not BigBoss.  It is obvious that he is Bigboss because of the eyepatch, and the MSF logo.  This game is a sequel to Peace Walker.    PEACE WALKER is in 1974, while les enfants terribles project was started in 1971, and the twin snakes were born in 1972.   The 2 phantoms are not Snake nor Liquid, BECAUSE THAT ALREADY HAPPENED years ago!!!  The phrase is the theme of the new game and it is not referring to something that has happened some years ago.

Go replay MGS4 and you will notice that based on what Bigboss says in the epilogue, the phantom phrase here refers to BigBoss and Zero.   The Fox unit was the unit Naked Snake and Zero were part of during the virtuous mission, and Snake eater mission, which means the whole MGS3.    Both Zero and Big Boss respected the Boss, but they were loyal to the purpose of the mission till the very end, that is why Snake, while having as leader Mayor Zero, kills the boss.  After that, Snake and Zero were dead on the inside.   That explains the whole phrase: "From Fox to phantoms were born"

Both respected that Boss, as a warrior and a person, they did not want her dead; so after that they learned what the real truth was, they were trying to acomplish the Boss will, but as you can see in MGS4 both of them have different ideas for the same goal, opposite ideas.

Opposites to the same thing, and phatoms since operation snake eater.  Just like the pic.    The whole image is flipped in order to represent that.  Big Boss and Zero they are both mirror images of the other, they represent the same thing, and yet they are opposites.

By now you should understand How Kojima works.  He usually gives deeper meaning to simple everyday things.
