Metal Gear Solid artist planning “surprise” for franchise anniversary

20130117_metal_gear_solid_4_yoji_shinkawa

Metal Gear Solid debuted a gorgeous brush-stroke style art style which later went on to become one of the series’s defining characteristics, linking artist Yoji Shinkawa with the franchise forevermore.

Obviously we have no idea what it is, but the post calls for questions, so perhaps an interview or video profile, or even a livestream of a work in progress.

Thanks, All Games Beta.
