Metal Gear Survive's Single Player Campaign Isn’t Playable Offline

According to Metal Gear Survive’s official website, “an internet connection is required to play the game.” Apparently, this means you can’t play its single-player campaign offline. While Konami failed to specify why Metal Gear Survive is an online-only game, it was most likely done to ensure that the game’s economy is balanced and free from cheaters. As listed on the site, player’s progress and rewards in single-player and multiplayer is shared between both modes. Konami also stated that crafting resources can be obtained in single-player and multiplayer. In addition, you can get recipes for creating specific items while exploring in single-player or it can be acquired as reward in co-op missions.
