Seen however how Kojima has repeatedly insisted that it is a huge game that takes a long time, we expect the output is closer to 2015 that end at the end of this year. Game Informer has also released several new details about the game, which we present below.

With regard to the game world, GI tells us that this will not be a single browsable world freely without solution of continuity, but will consist of several very large areas, among which we will be able to travel freely; also not all areas will be filled with enemies, so players won't have to always look back as will happen instead in Ground Zeroes. The editors of the magazine explains that the level of Afghanistan, the only seen so far, it has an incredible Visual distance and that all animals that inhabit the environment, such as goats and sheep, are extremely realistic.

There is also explained that the building will use as main base will be much more interactive than before: we can browse freely and interact with numerous objects. In addition we will have the opportunity to visit the bases of other players online. Finally confirms that all progress made in Ground Zeroes will be transferred to The Phantom Pain, which will give a "clear advantage" to those who have played the prologue.
