Fans of stealth action and over-the-top cutscenes can both finally let their PS3s rest, as Konami has finally announced Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 2. After a long, long wait, the collection was announced at today's PlayStation State of Play broadcast.
Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 2 will launch on August 27, 2026 across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, Switch, and PC. The headline addition here is, of course Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, which was one of the last big PlayStation 3 exclusives still unavailable on modern platforms.
In a PlayStation Blog post, Konami confirms that this version of MGS4 will feature "improvement in the internal resolution, increase of the maximum frame rate and customizable button control settings." A stable frame rate alone would make this the definitive version of the game, so here's hoping the port is a good one in all respects.
Metal Gear Solid 4 remake would be "pretty difficult" says series veteran, admitting the team used "quite unique solutions" when developing the stealth game's code
Veteran Metal Gear Solid producer says "given our age" it was now or never for an MGS3 remake: "Because it's such an incredible series, I decided that now was the time"
With OD and Physint in the works, Hideo Kojima says Kojima Productions is heading towards its "Third Phase"
The other big game in this collection is Peace Walker, which is based on the "the PS3 HD Collection version of the PSP original." I remember that as a solid port, and all the original game's co-op and versus multiplayer modes will remain available here. Sadly, it doesn't seem that Portable Ops, the other MGS PSP game, has made the cut.
The most surprising addition is Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, released in the US as simply "Metal Gear Solid." This Game Boy Color title is a surprisingly robust adaptation of the stealth-action series, one that punches well above the weight you'd attribute to a GBC adaptation of a big console title.
