12 Upcoming Video Games That Will Probably Be Delayed

3. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

The Buzz: The fifth core entry into the Metal Gear Solid franchise, The Phantom Pain is easily one of the most anticipated games of 2015, a gorgeous-looking exploration of Big Boss' path down the bad road, complete with refined open-world gameplay that looks set to take the series in an entirely new direction. Current Release Date: Q1 2015 Why It Will Be Delayed: Despite the game supposedly releasing within the next 5 months, Hideo Kojima has yet to announce a release date for the absurdly awaited title. though if it follows the formula of this year's taster Ground Zeroes, there's likely an announcement coming at the beginning of December. Still, though some extensive gameplay footage has been shown off to date, Kojima has been as mysterious as ever when discussing release dates, and given the massively ambitious nature of the game, it wouldn't be a shock if the game was delayed, especially when considering a number of delays that have beleaguered fans of the series in the past.
