But there had been an interesting rumor circulating the internet, suggesting of the game having an up-and-coming DLC.

Better Version

It still is quite a mystery as to the overall extent of its changes, with Hideo Kojima at the helm. But for what were revealed during the Summer Game Fest, it’s apparent at what players can expect. That is, unless the legendary prankster himself just pulled a stunt in the form of a short video trailer. That or he either merely pays tribute to a foregone franchise that was partly his making.
