Even though Konami removed Hideo Kojima’s name from MGSV, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, but still he continues to provide new info concerning the game.

He revealed that as Snake fights off opponents and his injuries bleed or he gets covered in blood, those blood stains will carry over to the next level and during your gameplay. This is very interesting as we thought blood would just be something to add extra gore to the game but it looks like it is important this time around in the Metal Gear Solid series.

Snake will be blood stained as he gets injured. Won’t reset even he completes missions/sideOPS. (Cont) — HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) August 7, 2015

Kojima also revealed that Snake’s blue bandanna will be soaked in blood resulting in it being red instead. Although you will have the freedom of selecting which bandanna to wear when going to fight.

Blue bandana will be soaked in bloody red. Story wise, he won’t be wearing as Snake broke up w/ the bandana given by THE BOSS in PW. (Cont) — HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) August 7, 2015
