Remember when Hideo Kojima attempted to tease us last year with the absence of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain during Metal Gear Solid’s 25 Anniversary event last year? One of the things showcased instead was a new social game, titled Metal Gear Solid: Social Ops, which would be made available for the GREE mobile platform in Japan. Now, it seems that the game will be shutting down on December 13th, a little more than a year after it first launched.

Konami has announced the same just recently and considering that it launched on December 4th 2012, it hasn’t had a bad run. The game incorporated aspects such as boss fights, 3D graphics and real time sneaking despite featuring aspects of a collectible card game. For whatever reason though, the game just wasn’t successful enough.

What are your thoughts on Social Ops being shut down? Is it a big loss or should Kojima Productions focus on bigger and better things? Let us know below.

Metal Gear Solid: Social Ops, a social game that Kojima Productions announced during it’s 25th Anniversary event for Metal Gear – also known as, “Where the hell is MGS5?! Argh!” – and which was developed for Japan’s mobile GREE platform saw a pretty good round of downloads when it launched.

The game has been downloaded over 100,000 times. And since its announcement, both Android and iPhone users can play it as well.

The celebrate the success of the game, Konami is giving away a ton of gifts to players. For those with a level 10 or higher character, you’ll receive 2000 bond points, while Level 15 players get two BP rations and level 20+ players receive premium gacha ticket.

MGS: Social Ops is a pretty odd game. It features settings and characters from MGS3, MGS4 and MGS: Peace Walker, but plays very much like the portable Metal Gear Acid series wherein you move characters and utilize items via cards. Check it out below.

Though most remember it as part of an elaborate troll job by Hideo Kojima, Konami and Kojima Productions, Metal Gear Solid: Social Ops is an actual game. It’s coming soon for Japan’s GREE social networking platform, and a new movie has been released showcasing the gameplay elements. And that’s all we’ve got so far.

From what the trailer shows, Social Ops appears to be part turn-based strategy, part tactical stealth, part collectible card game and part “huh?”. It brings Metal Gear Acid to mind, which wouldn’t be bad. Who thinks it’ll catch on?

Kojima Productions recently announced a new Metal Gear Solid at the MGS 25th Anniversary Meet. But not really. The new “game” has been tailored for Japan’s leading mobile GREE platform and is being called Metal Gear Solid: Social Ops.

That’s right. A Metal Gear Solid social networking game. Created with Unity, it sports some pretty impressive graphics for a game both running on mobiles and utilising that engine.

No word yet on whether this will be coming to other mobile platforms like Android or iOS of even Windows Phone. You know, the very devices that a large amount of the world’s population own?

It’s also been confirmed that the game will be playable at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. Now don’t jump too high in your excitement, you might just hit the fan.

The first question on everyone’s minds is obviously concerning whether Kojima is trolling the internet but we’ll wait till the events ends before deciding on that.

Special thanks to NeoGAF for the live coverage.
