Sony held its update on PS5 games on Thursday, and a segment of the show was devoted to Konami’s upcoming releases. Kicking things off was the reveal of a new collection of Metal Gear Solid games, which includes the only title that has yet to make the jump to next-gen consoles: Metal Gear Solid 4.
Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 remastered bundles of two already released games (Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker). It’s a happy day for Metal Gear fans who have been waiting for MGS4 to make the jump to newer consoles. The game was first released in 2008 on PS3, and it’s the only one in the franchise that Konami never attempted to re-release or remaster until this new collection.
When will Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 go out?
The collection will be released on August 27. It is available for pre-order on the PSN Store for $50.
On which platforms does Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 be released on ?
The PS5 is the only confirmed platform, but it could come to PC and Xbox Series X|S later if Sony has an exclusivity window for these games (which has already happened with titles like Final Fantasy VII Remake And Renaissance).
Does Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 a remake or a remaster?
The collection is a remaster of both games. Both titles will include improved resolutions, better frame rates, and custom controls. They could also feature other quality of life improvements, but these have yet to be confirmed.
What else is included in Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2?
In addition to the two main games, the new collection will include story books and main books for both titles, as well as a digital soundtrack. An interesting inclusion is a third, smaller game, Metal Gear: Ghost Babel. First released for the Game Boy Color in 2000, Ghost Babel was Konami’s sequel to Metal Gear Solid, released two years previously for the PlayStation. The Game Boy Color game used the same top-down graphics as the first and second Metal Gear games released for the NES and MSX2 consoles, but it is officially not canon in the Metal Gear franchise.
What are Metal Gear Solid 4 and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker about?
Metal Gear Solid 4 is the final game in the Metal Gear Solid series’ history and features Solid Snake’s final mission as he finally puts an end to the Patriots, the mysterious group that appears to be behind all the events of the previous games.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker follows the events of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. Snake, or rather Big Boss, has created his own military faction in Colombia. As he builds his own army, Big Boss is asked to help fight another military force that is growing in power and developing its own nuclear tank.
