Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes will feature a novel as a bonus for the special edition release, including artwork from series artist Yoji Shinkawa.

Metal Gear series Director Hideo Kojima has posted some pictures of the artwork featured in the Peace Walker novel on Twitter.

“Here's a sample of the Peace Walker‘s novelization book included in one of the special editions of Ground Zeroes. It's lavishly illustrated by Shin-chan (Yoji Shinkawa) in color. That way those that don't like text-only novels will also enjoy reading it,” he added.

Kojima has also posted a photo of the Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain figurine made by PlayArts, picturing Quiet, the female sniper character.

Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes is scheduled to launch in March, coming on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One platforms.
