It seems there's a strong possibility "The Phantom Pain" will finally be out some time in the second half of 2015.

According to IGN, Hideo Kojima talked about the game's multiplayer option called "Metal Gear Online," which could come with all of the copies of "Metal Gear Solid V." Kojima made these revelations at The Games Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Something that was written on his shirt, however, caused a lot of people to speculate about the impending arrival of the fifth installment. They believe the words on the director's shirt means "The Phantom Pain" will finally hit shelves come the 22nd of June 2015.

So what was on Kojima's shirt?

According to Kotaku, the legible text on Kojima's shirt was written in Swedish. The phrase was "Tjugoandra den sjätte." This statement translates into "twenty second" and "sixth" in English.

For those loyal to "Metal Gear Solid," this phrase has meaning. Kojima has only used Swedish words twice before. First was at The Phantom Pain's stealth revelation and the second at a P.T. reveal.

Since Kojima is notorious for tricking his fans and followers, the "Metal Gear Solid" community is abuzz with rumors saying this may just mean "The Phantom Pain" will be out by the 22nd of June 2015.
