Konami has launched Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.2 worldwide today. The follow-up to the first volume which released the first three Metal Gear Solid games, Master Collection Vol.2 brings Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker on modern platforms.
This also means this will be the first time that MGS4 and Peace Walker are playable on a non-PlayStation platform.
Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.2 covers two different sides of the Metal Gear timeline. MGS4, previously a PS3 exclusive title, is Solid Snake’s final mission, what’s considered the finale of the Metal Gear Solid saga.
Meanwhile, MGS Peace Walker focuses on Big Boss during his rise of creating a private army during the Cold War. The PSP game features base-building mechanics on top of the usual tactical espionage action the series is most famous for. Also, the multiplayer mode from Peace Walker is available, but no crossplay support.
As a bonus, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.2 also includes Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, a spin-off title originally released for the Game Boy Color. Additionally, the collection also adds a Screenplay Book (which contains all the in-game text) and a Master Book (detailing story and characters) for both games, a digital soundtrack, plus a database of lore that covers the timeline between Metal Gear to MGS4.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (HD Collection version) can also be purchased separately.
Konami previously released the Master Collection Vol.1 which re-released Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater on modern platforms. So far, Konami has remade Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater as Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, with intentionally minor adjustments and tweaks to improve the stealth-action game for modern audiences while preserving as much of the original gameplay and content.
Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.2 is out now on PS5, PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
