Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (MGSV)

You never need a reason for fan art, fan art just sort of is.

In celebration of the impending release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Konami has tasked a number of fantastically talented artists to create 80’s-themed posters for MGS V.

These are the results.

Imagine MGS V as a retro-styled indie title, this is what you’d get.

This MGS V poster has a real Indiana Jones vibe about it.

This is perhaps the closest to how we’d imagine an 80’s poster.
