Konami Hints at Potential Metal Gear Solid 4 Remake and Next-Gen Ports
With the anticipated release of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, speculation is rife regarding the inclusion of a Metal Gear Solid 4 remake and its potential arrival on PS5, Xbox, and other platforms. Konami, in a recent interview with IGN, fueled these rumors.
Producer Noriaki Okamura acknowledged the significant fan interest in seeing MGS4: Guns of the Patriots on modern consoles. While remaining tight-lipped on specifics, Okamura's statement hinted at possibilities: "We definitely are aware of this situation with MGS4," he stated. "Unfortunately, we can't really say too much at the moment with Vol. 1 containing MGS 1-3... you can probably connect the dots!" He further emphasized ongoing internal discussions concerning the series' future.
The possibility of MGS4’s inclusion in Master Collection Vol. 2 is further supported by several factors. The successful launch of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 on various platforms, including PC and Switch, suggests a similar approach for the sequel. Furthermore, last year's appearance of placeholder buttons for MGS4, MGS5, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker on Konami's official timeline added fuel to the fire. IGN reported these titles as likely candidates for Master Collection Vol. 2.
Adding to the intrigue, David Hayter, the English voice actor for Solid Snake, hinted at his involvement in a project potentially related to MGS4 on social media.
While Konami remains officially silent on concrete plans for an MGS4 remake or its inclusion in Master Collection Vol. 2, the accumulating evidence strongly suggests a significant announcement is imminent. Fans eagerly await further details.
