Konami has used the PlayStation Premier event currently going on in Tokyo to reveal that an expansion to the hugely popular
MGS Portable Ops (shown above) is on its way.
Called
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops+, the game is said to offer new levels and characters, and will be primarily concerned with the online play side of things. However, an all-new single-player mode, Infinity Mission, is also promised.
Due for Japan on September 20th (the day the
new PSP is launched in the region), the game will apparently cost just Y2,400 (£9.60) in standalone version, or Y4,300 (£17) when bundled with the original
Portable Ops.
There is no word of a Western version at this stage but it's obviously a possibility. We'll bring you more details with regards to the gameplay implications of the expansion's additions as soon as we get them, although we suspect they may be minimal – Japanese expansions of this sort tend to be conservative in their approach (a notion that is perhaps further supported in this instance by the game's particularly low retail price).
