In a busy week for the franchise Metal Gear Solid, in addition to the ‘remake’ of Snake Eater, Konami announced the return of the classics. Although we remember, a few years ago the digital versions of MGS: HD Collection were withdrawn from stores, as well as MGS: Snake Eater 3D from the eShop for 3DS. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 brings back the first five games in the series to recent platforms.
What platforms does it come out on? Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1?
Although the announcement only confirmed the PlayStation 5 version, it’s very probable that Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 also coming to Xbox Series X / S and Nintendo Switch. PlayStation 4 would not be off limits but it is not a ‘recent platform’ – although it is active. It is strange that it was not mentioned during the same presentation of Sony, perhaps because of the emphasis on PS5.
What are the games included Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1?
The games of Metal Gear Confirmed for this first compiled volume are:
- Metal Gear (as part of MGS3)
- Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (as part of MGS3)

- Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (version Substance from HD Collection)

What are the games that could include Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2?
Although there is still a game to be announced for the first volume, strong candidates include Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walkerwhich continues the story of Snake Eater. Before that the chronology puts MGS: Portable Opsgame in which Hideo Kojima was not involved but whose events are mentioned in Metal Gear Solid 4 and the application Database.
Speaking of MGS4: Guns of the Patriotsthe same sources that leaked the existence of the upcoming releases of Metal Gear They ensure that the fourth game presents problems, due to the architecture in which it was programmed for PS3.
‘Spin-off’ como Metal Gear Ac!d and its PSP sequel, Metal Gear: Ghost Babel from Game Boy Color and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance They are also among the possibilities, regardless of the fact that they do not have Kojima’s last name. Konami is completely autonomous over the brand.
