Peace Walker is one of two of the latest entries into the Metal Gear Solid franchise, taking place 4 years after Portable Ops. It is set in Costa Rica, putting you in control of Big Boss once again, as he prepares the rise of Outer Heaven.

Peacewalker is a PSP exclusive Metal Gear title announced June 2, 2009 during Sony's E3 Conference, it is slated for release in 2010. The game will be set in 1974, four years after the events of Portable Ops, and two years after the Les Enfants Terribles project. It is based in Costa Rica and looks to show the creation of Outer Heaven.  the game focuses on Big Boss and elaborates on certain elements of the Metal Gear mythology. It is being called "The missing link in the Metal Gear Saga" by Kojima productions, it should be noted that Kojima has chosen to focus his attention on Peacewalker rather than it's console-bound brother, Metal Gear Solid: Rising. It looks to be a sequel to Portable Ops, with the recruitment feature returning and now with the influsion of recruiting an unconscious soldier by means of a Fulton evacuation system. It also features the moving whilst crouching mechanic, which was absent in Snake Eater, Portable Ops and it's expansion.

Speculation that the game will feature 4 player co-op has arisen due to the display of four differently garbed Big Bosses, moving together to form a line and all of them raising and aiming an M16 assault rifle. The trailer also showed that 2 characters can enter and move about in one of Snake's trademark cardboard boxes at the same time, further suggesting the inclusion of co-op.
On the 102nd Kojima Productions Report Podcast, it was confirmed that the different Big Bosses are part of a class system that will lend itself to whatever play-style the player chooses. From "Battle Snake", who is a heavy weapons class character, to a Rambo-style character and an all round character who is said to play closest to Metal Gear Solid 3 Naked Snake.
