In case you missed Sony‘s E3 2009 press conference earlier today, the PSP got another AAA title added to its upcoming lineup: Hideo Kojima‘s Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.

Peace Walker takes place ten years after Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, so presumable the “Snake” here is Naked Snake. Kojima himself is writing the script and producing this game, and the main Metal Gear Solid 4 team is also involved, so this is no spin-off. It’s a real sequel and a main entry in the MGS franchise.

Here are some screenshots from the game. There’s also a video of the announcement as well as the game preview below the screens. The preview itself starts at the 2:23 mark. Oh, and don’t forget to watch the cardboard box bit at the end.
