Though this announcement sounds like great news for PC fans, perhaps some people may remember the PC version was mentioned in a December 2015 Medium post [https://medium.com/@PadPoet/sony-computer-entertainment-enters-into-an-agreement-with-kojima-productions-1490ebd29c45#.vsxv00ayq] that was later deleted. It’s just that the PC version has been officially announced today.
