Metal Gear Solid Guía y cronología
A soldier sent to stop a nuclear threat often finds that the mission itself is part of someone else's plan. Metal Gear follows Big Boss, Solid Snake and the people caught in their legacies through espionage, shifting loyalties and arguments about war. Its stealth missions make room for both political drama and outright absurdity.

Metal Gear: Let the Mission Reveal What It Means
Choose Main Saga and Release order for the full original route, beginning Metal Gear, then Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake and Metal Gear Solid. Snake Eater begins the earlier Big Boss period in story order, not publication.

The past often explains a mystery introduced later in the characters' lives. Earliest-setting order changes how those discoveries land.
Overview & recommendation
A Metal Gear mission rarely means only what its briefing says. Release order lets you discover the people behind the instructions before later games return to the history that shaped them.
The titles cover different Snakes, periods and kinds of play. A familiar codename does not remove the need for context, while a remake can offer another presentation without becoming the next event in that history.
Follow the main branch's release sequence for a first experience of the twists. Keep Ground Zeroes before The Phantom Pain as its prologue. Rising follows Raiden with a different action emphasis; explore it for that perspective rather than treating it as another stealth mission for Snake.
The Main Saga, Recreated Stories and Other Operations A connected central history with alternative presentations and branches
Twin Snakes revisits Metal Gear Solid, while Delta revisits Snake Eater. Their branch distinguishes presentations. Side Ops gathers alternate or non-mainline experiments, not secret mandatory steps linking every main game.
Main Saga (10 entries)
The central Big Boss and Solid Snake history, with Raiden's later Rising adventure and its different action focus.
Remakes (2 entries)
Twin Snakes and Delta as re-creations of earlier main-saga stories, distinguished from new chronological missions.
Side Ops (3 entries)
Alternate and non-mainline Metal Gear experiments such as Ghost Babel, Acid and Survive, not required connective episodes of the central route.
Publication Sequence for a First Mission Route 15 entries
Use Main Saga and Release order to preserve introductions before the prequels explain their past. Choose a remade story deliberately rather than adding it as a new sequel after the original.
