Konami Hints at Metal Gear Solid 4 Remake and Next-Gen Ports in Master Collection Vol. 2
Speculation is rife about the upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, particularly regarding the possibility of a Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots remake. Konami has fueled these rumors, offering a cryptic response to questions about a potential PS5, Xbox, and PC release.
In an interview with IGN, Konami producer Noriaki Okamura acknowledged the intense fan interest in bringing MGS4 to modern platforms. While he couldn't confirm specifics, his comments strongly suggest the game's inclusion in Master Collection Vol. 2. Okamura stated, "We definitely are aware of this situation with MGS4...you can probably connect the dots!" He cited ongoing internal discussions about the series' future as the reason for his inability to provide further details.
The possibility of an MGS4 remake is further supported by previous reports. Placeholder buttons for MGS4, MGS5, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker appeared on Konami's official timeline, hinting at their potential inclusion in Master Collection Vol. 2. Adding to the intrigue, David Hayter, the English voice actor for Solid Snake, hinted at his involvement in an MGS4-related project.
While Konami remains officially silent on the contents of Master Collection Vol. 2, the pieces seem to be falling into place for a long-awaited MGS4 remake and its release on platforms beyond the PS3. Fans will have to wait for official confirmation, but the signs are undeniably promising.
