Series creator Hideo Kojima revealed that the game entered production immediately after handheld instalment Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, but ran into "development issues".
He told Kotaku : "Honestly, I really wanted to release Ground Zeroes right after Peace Walker, whether on PSP or PS3.
"But then we had development issues, some delays with Metal Gear Rising as well. And then we learned about next generation coming, so it ended up being the way it is now.
"Of course it would be ideal to release Ground Zeroes and the main part of the game all together, but at the same time given that this week we have the next generation of game consoles coming out, a lot of the fans wanted to play something sooner.
"And given that the main game is a rather big game and still in development, it will take a little bit more time to get it out. We decided to listen to the fans and put at least the prologue out there so people will get the experience."
Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes, which serves as a prologue to The Phantom Pain, will be released for PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One in the spring.
The PlayStation versions will contain an exclusive mission based on the PSOne original.
