The PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC versions were previously locked in for October 24. PS4 details are still TBD, however, so we’ll have to wait for further info. For now, we know the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection will be digital-only on PS4. The PS5, Xbox Series, and Switch collections will be available both physically and digitally.Ā 

Bring back Ultra Games

As previously reported, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection packs in some essential sneaking missions, including the MSX classics. In addition to Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, players can relive the stealth action of Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.Ā 

The NES version of Metal Gear I spent too long attempting to figure out back in the day is there, too, as is the less celebrated followup, Snake’s Revenge. Much like the NESĀ Metal Gear, creator Hideo Kojima was not involved in this sequel, and it shows. As a piece of gaming history, though, it’s essential.Ā Snake’s RevengeĀ reflects a company capitalizing on the popularity of an original title in international regions. Also, like most Ultra Games, the soundtrack ā€” from composer Tsutomu Ogura ā€” rips.Ā 

As for what lies beyond all this, we’ll have to wait and see if those volume 2 leaks pan out whenever Konami gets around to detailing the next collection.Ā
