'Metal Gear Survive' Beta: Play Newest 'Metal Gear' Free In January

The gaming world was abuzz last week with the latest trailer for "Death Stranding," the newest game from enigmatic game designer Hideo Kojima. However, the series Kojima created and worked on for decades before his messy divorce with publisher Konami in 2015 is not dead yet. One could -- appropriately -- compare it to a zombie. The next game in the long-running and deeply popular "Metal Gear" series is "Metal Gear Survive." It is a zombie-themed shooter with an emphasis on cooperative multiplayer. If that is the sort of thing that interests you, there is good news: Players will be able to try it out for free in the near future.
