Metal Gear Solidfans will no doubt appreciate the opportunity to revisit the classic games on modern platforms, though Konami has yet to clarify exactly which platforms the collection will be available on. While it’s been suggested thatMetal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1will be a multi-platform release, the only console we know it’s coming to for sure is PlayStation 5. Hopefully more information on that front comes sooner rather than later.
While someMetal Gearfans may have preferred a brand-new entry in the series, others will be happy to see that Konami is finally bringing theMetal Gear Solidfranchise back through this collection and theSnake Eaterremake. If these games are popular enough, perhaps they could lead to a proper renaissance forMetal Gearthat sees a completely original game produced eventually, though some may be concerned about what such a project might look like without the involvement offranchise creator Hideo Kojima.
