In a thrilling development for Metal Gear enthusiasts, a potential leak has emerged suggesting the remaster of Metal Gear Solid 4. This leak has emerged alongside the buzz surrounding the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 3 remake and the highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1.
Fans can rejoice as the official announcement of the Master Collection Vol. 1 heralds a treasure trove of content. This highly anticipated collection will encompass the beloved Metal Gear Solid and HD Collection versions of two iconic titles: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
Adding to the excitement, Konami has disclosed that the collection will also feature Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Snake’s Revenge, as well as digital graphic novels and screenplay books, ensuring a comprehensive experience for loyal followers of the franchise.
What has caught the attention of fans is the collection’s name, “Vol. 1,” which suggests the potential for a second collection in the future. While Konami has not yet provided official details regarding a follow-up collection, speculation is rife, and fans are eagerly awaiting more news.
A keen-eyed Twitter user (@Nitroid) made a remarkable discovery on the official Metal Gear Solid website’s timeline page. Placeholder buttons for Metal Gear Solid 4, Metal Gear Solid 5, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker were found, hinting at their potential inclusion in the Master Collection. Intriguingly, these buttons no longer redirect users to the original pages for each game. Instead, they lead to separate pages solely promoting the existing Master Collection. This intriguing development has fueled speculation that these dormant buttons may eventually connect to their respective games in a future release, perhaps in the speculated Master Collection Vol. 2.
While this is hardly conclusive of anything, here's some additional context for why it's suspicious: pic.twitter.com/2zPbbKTL79
