The new details were released via a Question and Answer Session earlier this week where fans got to directly ask the game developer, a report from Gamespot said.
In the said article, Konami reportedly answered players' inquiries if a customization will be possible in the "Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain" video game.

A similar report from Gamerant revealed that in "Metal Gear Solid 5: the Phantom Pain" campaign, players will likely be treated as a cooperative multiplayer component of the game. The report pointed out that the new feature will eventually allow gamers to use different skins while playing Ocelot, Snake, and other generic mercenaries in the game.
Furthermore, it was emphasized that the current-gen versions of the video game supports up to 16 players in stealth-oriented multiplayer battles. The video game will be launched on September 15 for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC gaming platforms.
