Keeping up with the timeline can be tricky, as the release date chronology doesn’t match up with the in-game dates and eras. Metal Gear Solid 3, which was released in 2004, follows the events of 1964, while the 1987 releaseཧ of Metal Gear Solid sees the events of 1995 brought to life for the charac🐓ters.
With a nearly 30 year gap between events, there seems a lot of unaccounted-for adventures. If you’re attempting to play the game in order of events, you may want to know what was happening in the♏ background and downtime during the ‘70s and ‘80s- two lively decades to skip over.
