There was originally a final mission planned that was ultimately cut from the game, called Spoiler:Mission 51: Kingdom of the Flies. The mission would have tied the final loose-end of Eli running away with Sahelanthropus alongside the war-children and the remaining English vocal-cord parasite. A new area, an island surrounded by a salt lake located in Central Africa, was planned for the mission as well.
XOF Soldiers and Child Soldiers would be patrolling across the island until Snake finally confronts Eli inside of Sahelanthropus, resulting in a final fight that would end with Sahelanthropus being destroyed. It is revealed that Eli intentionally infected himself with the English vocal-cord parasite that the Floating-Boy gave him, and he is left behind to either take his own life or to die to incoming Napalm strikes on the island. After Snake and Diamond Dogs leave the island, the Floating Boy uses his powers to remove the parasites and takes him off the island.
Only 30% of the cutscenes were ever finished, and footage shows no facial animations on any of the characters. It is unknown how much of the island itself, or the boss fight, were ever completed.
