Metal Gear artist? or Square Enix copy?
I do not know where to find such info.
I'm not sure if Square Enix hired whoever did the art for Metal Gear game cases to do this.
Or if they decided their stealth game with giant mechs was very familiar as a concept, so gave their artist metal gear artwork and told them to copy it 1/1 :P.

Not knocking the idea, it will be great if this is a Metal Gear style & themed game and if they wanna copy the artwork from a similar game to evoke familiarity & they can get away with it then good.

Who else can blatently see Naomi Hunter + Solidus Snake on the store art :P?

The guy on the bottom left also has a strong resemblence to pre-ninja Raiden :P

Try searching at the game's own store page here on steam (no joke, its there :trolol: )

Yeah, when I saw the art I thought the same thing like "oh it must be the same artist!".
It's the same artist, Yoji Shinkawa.

Blasphemy!
As a proud citizen of the internet I decline your offer to accept information right in front of me!

Yoji Shinkawa (character designer, METAL GEAR series)
Where the hell did this come from?!



Well we all make mistakes, this was a pretty stupid one on my part haha.

I'm gonna go ahead and blame Steam, after looking through 17,000 games I have been trained to get a gist of things through screenshots and user tags rather than actually read the descriptions.

But it does look like they use an engine very close to the fox engine (at least visually because animation wise it look quite rigid in the trailers)

Well, the novels and mangas for FM do depict both mechanized and foot infantry fighting along side wanzers.

It's Yoji Shinkawa. I know he's the reason why most of the drawn art (including game covers and menus) look sexy as hell in all the Metal Gear games and in both Zone of the Enders games, but I'm not sure what other part he played in those games.

I'm looking forward to this game just to see how stylish he can make this game be. My erection went through the roof just looking at the art on the Steam page.

You should have played FM3 and Alternative.

Shinkawa needed a job after Konami disbanded Kojima and MGS so he works on Left Alive now.

Uh, no, he works at Kojima Productions. He's the in-house artist there.

I guess he decided to help out with Left Alive aswell. It happens quite a bit in Japan.
