New Metal Gear Solid demo shown at 25th Anniversary event

A new Metal Gear Solid demo was shown at the series' 25th Anniversary event today, according to reports.

The demo for "Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes," as it's being called, uses Kojima Productions' new Fox Engine. It was running on PC.

Sources say the demo began with a real-time cutscene and quickly switched to gameplay — Snake killing guards, avoiding searchlights, and riding in a jeep.

This may be a mere tech demo or a glimpse at an upcoming game. Attendees were not allowed to take photos.

The next full Metal Gear is expected to release in mid-2013 or even 2014. Meanwhile, Konami is considering a PC version of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance for early 2013.
