The Official Reveal
The official announcement doesn’t reveal a lot of information though. It was only confirmed that the Director’s Cut is coming to PC in Spring 2022 and that it will be available on both Steam and Epic Games Store. The official game page is already up and running. You can wishlist the title now.
What We Don’t Know
The announcement doesn’t reveal the actual release date. We also don’t know the price of the Director’s Cut or if the owners of the base version will get an upgrade path. Kojima Productions' official Twitter account claims that more information will be revealed later this month. So, I guess we will have to wait for a few more weeks then.
We'll be able to provide an answer for you later this month. Stay tuned!
