Making up for lost time, Big Boss establishes a private military organisation called Diamond Dogs, after rescuing his associate Kazuhira Miller from captivity in Afghanistan and establishing a Mother Base on an oil platform in the Seychelles. One that, but of course, includes a mysterious flaming super-being who can absorb bullets and send them back with interest in fiery bursts (although he can be neutralised with a judiciously administered cold shower). A gloriously bonkers prologue sees your character, Big Boss (now codenamed Venom Snake), escaping from the Cypriot hospital in which he has been in a coma for the past nine years, and which has come under attack from both a military force. In the pantheon of the Metal Gear universe, The Phantom Pain is an origins story, set in Afghanistan in 1984, which has been overrun by invading Russians.
