Konami fuels speculation about a next-gen release of Metal Gear Solid 4, potentially marking its first appearance outside the PS3. The possibility of a remake and inclusion in Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 is teased.
Konami Hints at MGS4 Remake and Next-Gen Ports
MGS Master Collection Vol. 2 May Include Metal Gear Solid 4
Konami producer Noriaki Okamura, in a recent IGN interview, subtly suggested the possibility of a Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (MGS4) remake within MGS Master Collection Vol. 2, alongside ports for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and potentially other platforms. While acknowledging the fervent fan speculation, Okamura remained non-committal regarding concrete plans, stating that Konami is internally evaluating the future of the series.
The possibility of an MGS4 PS5 port has been a significant point of discussion among fans, given the PS3 exclusivity of the original game. The release of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1, featuring remastered versions of the first three games on various platforms including PC and Switch, further fuels this speculation.
Last year, placeholder buttons for MGS4, MGS5, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker appeared on Konami's official timeline, adding weight to rumors suggesting their inclusion in Master Collection Vol. 2. Further fueling the anticipation, David Hayter, the English voice actor for Solid Snake, hinted at his involvement in an MGS4-related project on social media.
Despite the mounting evidence, Konami has yet to officially confirm any plans for an MGS4 remake or its inclusion in Master Collection Vol. 2. The wait continues.
