MGSV 's tale has been a beast all its own. When MGSV 's Phantom Pain was initially teased at Spike's VGA awards in December 2012, Kojima didn't even announce it was from KojiPro. Instead the game debuted with a surreal, cryptic teaser trailer feature a very emaciated-looking character partially wrapped in bandages head attempting to survive the apparent horrors of an overrun hospital; the-then stand-alone Phantom Pain looked like a horror game from a completely unknown publisher, the Swedish outfit Moby Dick Games (the teaser featured a giant flame-whale). Furthermore, the name of Moby Dick's CEO, the unknown Joakim Mogren, was an anagram of Hideo Kojima (not to mention the main character looking a lot like Snake). It got even weirder. The absent Mogren soon agreed to do an exclusive video interview with Game Trailers' Geoff Keighley, and when he did so appeared with his head wrapped in bandages.
