CMON has been in the business of making beautiful board games for a long time, and almost all of their biggest hits have been funded on Kickstarter. The company completed its 55th campaign in April, bringing in more than $3.8 million for the Zombieside: The White Death, a new adaptation of the fan-favorite zombie hack-and-slash co-op. But it’s no stranger to licensed games either, with partnerships ranging from the Marvel universe to Cyberpunk 2077 movieand “Masters of the Universe” and “Frank Herbert” Dune.

Matsuushi’s creation dates back to 2018, when the original version of this stealth action game (also titled Metal Gear Solid: The board game) launched on Backerkit. The publisher, IDW Games, eventually ran into challenges and scrapped the project – a prelude to ending its gaming business altogether. IDW was only recently installed under New CEO, but the game design itself went back to Matsuchi. Polygon has reached out to IDW for comment on the situation, but declined to provide comment.

Wednesday’s announcement included a CGI trailer, and the game’s guide — which is still in the works — is too. Available for download. Expect to learn more about the game as we hit the busy summer convention circuit, including Gen Con in August in Indianapolis.
