Metal Gear Solid franchise designer Hideo Kojima has talked a bit about the content that's included in the new Ground Zeroes installment, emphasizing that, besides the main mission, there are five side ops that greatly increase the playtime.

Yesterday, fans learned that Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes can be completed in just 2 hours, leading to quite a heated debate.

After a statement from Konami, designer Hideo Kojima has also talked a bit about this subject on Twitter, emphasizing the various secondary missions included in the game.

"Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes includes the main mission alongside five side ops," he said. "All missions include elements such as Trial Records, where players can compete against each other online. This is not a linear game like [in] the past. Ground Zeroes offers freedom of approach and play style, which we hope players will enjoy over and over again without [getting bored]."

As such, fans should expect to spend quite some time with the Ground Zeroes experience.
