Okay, let’s get two things straight: a) this is not an April’s fools joke and b) take everything you are about to read with a grain of salt. Spanish retailer ‘xtralife’ has listed Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain for the PC. Do note that the listing was spotted yesterday, on March 31st. In other words, it did not go live today.
According to the retailer, MGS V will be coming to the PC next March (March 12th, 2015… that’s on Thursday mind you) and will be priced at 50.99€. The interesting part here is that gamers can pre-purchase the game and get a discount.
For those wondering, Spain does not celebrate today April’s fools day. In other words, this is not a joke. In Spain there is the “Innocent’s Day” – similar to April’s Fools day – that is celebrated on December 28th.
Still, this does not mean that MGS V is confirmed for the PC. For all we know this may be a placeholder and nothing more, which is precisely why we’re marking this story as a rumor.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Well the game was demoed on a pc and hideo has said they do work on pc and wants to make a pc version but cant anounce anything yet.
If they do announce a PC version then I’m gonna have to spend a LOT of time at the wikis.
why? the crhonology stuff?
Yep. The series is known for extremely convoluted plot and if you never played previous games, you’d probably be a bit lost when playing Phantom Pain. I only know a bit of the lore but trust me, it’s really interesting. The themes, character development, everything is masterfully done. Kojima is very good when it comes to crafting such a good story. I was planning on playing some of the games through an emulator but I changed my mind. The fact that Phantom Pain is on X1 as well could mean that they are catering for audiences new to the series though.
