Metal Gear is no stranger to add genre mash-ups. Whether it’s Solid Snake appearing in Super Smash Bros Brawl or Hideo Kojima’s digital card game MGS ACID, Snake isn’t confined to one particular gameplay style.

This is certainly true of Konami’s latest Metal Gear title, Metal Gear Social, which the company describes as a mobile game sneaking game with a card collecting element. The gameplay in Social is divided into two distinct sections: The first has the player controlling Snake as he sneaks from one side of the map to another, similar to sections in Peace Walker. The other has Snake battling bosses in a more open environment using collectable cards, which he collects by performing steal maneuvers in the first section.

No word on whether or not the game will involve microtransactions for these in-game cards or whether the game will be purchased for $0.99/$2.99 or a similar price. As with anything this niche, no word yet on a North American release.
