Kojima may have left Konami, but Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future (if not with the kind of story DLC that many hoped for or expected). The game will be getting a massive update this month, which is actually available today.

The update introduces new features, such custom camera and mine placements in an FOB, a new FOB Mission Event called The Skulls Attack, the ability to use the Raiden and Cyborg Ninja outfits in FOBs, new challenge tasks which will award players a variety of rewards for completing specific tasks, Advanced Player FOB missions, new Grade 9 weapons and more.

The update is out right now on the PS3, PS4, Xbox One, and PC worldwide- Xbox 360 players will have to wait, as Konami confirmed that they don’t get the update right now- we don’t actually know when they’ll be getting it either, actually.
