Is a Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 2 on the Horizon?
Hey there, gamers! Get ready to place your bets because it looks like a Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 2 might be in the works. You know how it goes – when you release a “Volume 1,” it’s only natural to expect a Volume 2 somewhere down the line. The recently released Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 1 (which is alright, by the way) only includes the first three main games and the NES Metal Gear games. So, what about MGS4 and 5? Well, based on a datamine shared on Reddit, it seems like a second collection is highly likely.
A Datamine Clue
Let me fill you in on the details. Some clever folks on Reddit uncovered a datamine that hints at the inclusion of MGS4, MGS5, and even Peace Walker, a PSP entry in the series. The datamine reveals some code snippets with references to these games, listed as acronyms. Now, why would they include these references if there wasn’t a Volume 2 in the works? It would be a pretty wild move to subtitle a remaster collection Volume 1 and not follow it up with a second part. But hey, we’re talking about Konami here, and they’re known for their unconventional decisions (I’m looking at you, Metal Gear Solid 3 pachinko machine).
A First for MGS4
If MGS4 does indeed make its way into Volume 2, it’ll be the first time the game is playable outside of its original release on the PS3. With Volume 1, all the other entries are playable on modern hardware, so this would be a welcome addition for fans who missed out on the PS3 era.
Keeping the Series Alive
Let’s face it, folks. This whole remaster collection is a clever way to bring the Metal Gear Solid series back into the spotlight and remind everyone of its greatness. It’s been a while since we’ve had a new release, and this is the perfect opportunity to reignite the excitement. Plus, it’s a great way to kill some time while we eagerly await the MGS3 remake, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Unfortunately, we still don’t have a release date for that one, but at least we have something to keep us occupied in the meantime!
Conclusion
So, fellow gamers, keep those fingers crossed and stay tuned for any official announcements regarding the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 2. With the datamine hinting at its existence, it’s looking more and more likely. In the meantime, dive back into the world of Snake and relive the magic with Volume 1. Let’s keep the spirit of Metal Gear Solid alive!
