A new launch trailer for “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain” is coming, and Hideo Kojima has teased fans with the date. This trailer, which appears to be edited by Kojima himself, will be released Tuesday.

The trailer may be titled “Progress and Harmony of Metal Gear,” and part of it may be the developer’s way of expressing gratitude to fans who have been with them since the start, reported DualShockers. U.S. fans can expect it on Tuesday, while those in Japan will get it on Wednesday.

Considering the recent falling out that happened between Kojima and developer Konami, this trailer may also be the last trailer coming from Kojima. And it may also be the last time that the creator will develop for the “Metal Gear” series.

Interestingly, it appears that those who have received a copy of Rocksteady’s “Batman: Arkham Knight” or “Assassin’s Creed Unity” will be able to get a free copy of “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.”

Forbes spotted an ongoing Reddit thread wherein several individuals have stated that they were able to contact the retailer, give the code for the “Batman: Arkham Knight” order and get their own copy of Konami’s other game. It has been confirmed that this can be done via numerous retailers, including Best Buy and Newegg.

According to one Reddit poster, players only need to call the retailer and give the order number for “Batman: Arkham Knight.” After this, they will receive their copy of “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.”

It appears that this promo may be linked to the buggy release of “Batman: Arkham Knight” PC edition. Until now, the game is still withheld from stores as the developer continues to try and fix the game. While “Assassin’s Creed Unity” appears to also be included in the promo, some players did state that they may not always be successful in getting a copy of “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain” with this particular title.
