Unless you’re a hardcore Metal Gear Solid fan, chances are you can’t make heads or tails of the overall timeline. It doesn’t help that Hideo Kojima loves to pull fast ones on his fans, which only complicates things further. Thankfully, we’ve got a truncated timeline for every game in the series to catch you up in time for Metal Gear Solid 5. Ever wonder just what the hell happened in Metal Gear Solid 2 and 4? Need a quick refresher course on Metal Gear Solid? Curious as to what happens in Peace Walker? We’ve got you covered. It goes without saying, though, that this timeline is jam packed with spoilers. Read at your own risk!
