If you are a fan of Metal Gear Online, which was bundled with Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriot, you will be happy to hear that it will be recieving an update at a currently unannounced time.
While the announcement is entirely in Japanese, we do know that the update will be entitled Scene Expansion and include a new multiplayer map called Icebound Inferno. You may recognize Icebound Inferno as it closely resembles the Shadow Moses level found in Metal Gear Solid 4. Additionally, Scene Expansion will give players the chance to choose Old Snake as an online playable character.
