The fact that Hideo Kojima isn't involved or even working with Konami any more (to say nothing about the rumoured friction between them) is even more evidence of this. While I don't doubt there will be some story in place, in terms of presentation and gameplay, Metal Gear Survive is divorced from the main series.

You and a few allies are simply fending off waves of bizarre, crystal-headed zombies while gathering supplies. There's not much “Tactical Espionage Action” or faux political musings or the horrors that POWs face or even the action-packed borderline parody about self-identity that was Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

Even if you're used to a wackier style of Metal Gear story-telling, Metal Gear Survive isn't that.
