During the PlayStation ‘State of Play’ Showcase earlier today, Konami revealed the return Metal Gear Solid games.
After constant rumors, the Japanese company confirmed the remake of the third game. While the platforms for this title have already been confirmed (coming to PlayStation, Xbox and PC), Konami has also announced Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1arrival in Autumn 2023.
It will feature HD remasters of the first, second and third games – with more games and volumes apparently on the way. As pointed out by our friends at Push square
Aside from PlayStation, no other platforms have been confirmed yet, but a message from the development team on the official teaser website mentions that this 35th anniversary collection will come to “the latest platforms.”
“Currently, the development team is working together to create an environment where fans can experience and enjoy the METAL GEAR series on the latest platforms.
“… we will deliver the METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION series, the most complete compilation celebrating the series’ 35th anniversary. METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION allows fans to play the games as they were, as they were first released on the latest platforms.”
Although there is no mention of a Nintendo release, many Switch fans on social media are already hoping. If the Master Collection is based on the older HD remasters, it shouldn’t be a problem to get it up and running on the Switch. Konami has also released a lot of other collections on the hybrid platform in recent years.
Nintendo systems have a long history with Metal Gear Solid games – with certain entries released on platforms such as the GameCube and newer platforms such as the 3DS. Snake has also appeared as a character in Nintendo’s popular Super Smash Bros. fighting series over the years.
