About the project
I'm Alex, game designer and huge Metal Gear fanboy.Every time a new Metal Gear is about to be released, I have to reorganize all my thoughts and memories, which is usually a tiring task. I started looking for accessible ways to have an overview of the different game events, but I figured out that there was no such a thing available. I therefore decided to spend some of my spare time creating the Metal Gear Timeline: I hope you will like it and find it useful (whether you love or hate this crazy saga). Please, consider sharing Metal Gear Timeline on social media, or even contribute to the development of the project.
