Konami hints at a possible next-gen release of Metal Gear Solid 4, fueling speculation about its inclusion in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2.
Konami Teases MGS4 PS5 & Xbox Ports
MGS4 Remake a Possibility in Master Collection Vol. 2?
Konami producer Noriaki Okamura, in a recent IGN interview, subtly acknowledged the strong fan desire for a Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (MGS4) remake and next-gen ports. While avoiding concrete confirmation, Okamura's comments, coupled with the release of Master Collection Vol. 1, strongly suggest a sequel is in the works. He stated that Konami is "internally concerned about what we should be doing for the future of the series," leaving the door open for future announcements.
The possibility of MGS4, a PS3 exclusive, joining Master Collection Vol. 2 has been a major topic of fan discussion. The successful launch of Master Collection Vol. 1 (featuring remastered versions of MGS 1-3 for PS5, Xbox, PC, and Switch) has only intensified this speculation.
Last year, placeholder buttons for MGS4, MGS5, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker appeared on Konami's official timeline, further fueling rumors reported by IGN. While unconfirmed, these reports suggest these titles are slated for Master Collection Vol. 2.
Adding fuel to the fire, David Hayter, the English voice actor for Solid Snake, hinted at his involvement in an MGS4-related project on social media last November.
Despite the mounting evidence, Konami remains officially silent on the contents and plans for Master Collection Vol. 2, leaving fans eagerly anticipating official confirmation of an MGS4 remake or port.
