Hideo Kojima, the legendary mastermind behind the iconic franchise, Metal Gear Solid, is a pretty active individual on twitter who interacts with his fans, teases about his projects and what not. Kojima-san’s latest ambitious project is Metal Gear Solid V, which has been divided into two parts; Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will be released in Europe on March 20, 2014.

If you notice, you’ll see that there is Kazuhira Miller on the posters and the box. Kojima-san has previously stated that Kaz will not be present on the boxart or main screen in the Western versions so we’re assuming that for the promotional posters in the West, Kaz won’t be present on them as well.
