Most expensive stealth game produced

Stealthy though Solid Snake may be, the fact that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain cost Konami over $80 million to develop is no secret. Japanese business newspaper The Nikkei reported the production figure a month before the game launched in September 2015. This, in addition to the necessary marketing spend, encouraged specialist gaming sites and business wires to speculate upon how many units would need to be sold to break even. It surpassed 6 million sales worldwide, as of December 2015, considered more than enough.
