Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is a video game produced by Konami Productions that was released for the PlayStation Portable in 2010. Peace Walker is the 5th Metal Gear title for the PSP. Set in 1974 in Central America, the game follows the exploits of returning protagonist Naked Snake, now known as Big Boss, as he runs a mercenary unit using the resources he acquired from Gene at the end of Portable Ops, four years before. The game also adds more information behind the founding of the military state Outer Heaven. 

The game's main protagonist is Naked Snake, who is leading a new mercenary group called th Militaires Sans Frontiéres (MSF). He is assisted in this endeavor by MSF deputy chief Kazuhira Miller. They are eventually joined later in the game by Sandinista rebel leader Amanda Valeciano Libre and her kid brother, Chico, Paz Ortega Andrade, a student at the University of Peace; Hal Emmerich's future father Huey and French orinthologist Cécile Cosima Caminades.

The game's main antagonists are Hot Coldman, who is the CIA Central America station chief, and Ramon Galvez Mena, Paz'z instructor. Dr. Strangelove is a British AI expert whom Coldman hired to work on the Peace Walker Project and is later attracted to Huey.

The game also features flashbak scenes from Snake Eater, particularly the final battle between Snake and the Boss, plus the audiotape that EVA left behind after the Operation Snake Eater. Through a set of audiotape briefing files unlocked upon completing the game, EVA also provides Snake with new information about The Boss' activities during a period where Snake was unable to keep in touch with her. Kikuko Inoue and Lori Alan also reprise their voice as The Boss in the flashbacks and as the voice of the Mammal Pod AI construct modeled after The Boss.
