MGS Master Collection Vol. 2: MGS4 Remake on the Horizon?
Konami producer Noriaki Okamura, in a recent IGN interview, subtly acknowledged the intense fan desire for a Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (MGS4) remake or port to modern consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC). While remaining officially silent on concrete plans, Okamura's response, referencing the release of Master Collection Vol. 1, strongly suggests the possibility. He stated that Konami is actively considering the future of the series and its potential inclusion in Vol. 2.
The long-standing PS3 exclusivity of MGS4 has fueled persistent fan speculation regarding its inclusion in a potential Master Collection Vol. 2. The successful launch of Vol. 1, featuring remastered versions of the first three games on multiple platforms, further bolsters this hope.
Rumors intensified last year when placeholder buttons for MGS4, MGS5, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker appeared on Konami's official timeline, hinting at their potential inclusion in Vol. 2. This was further supported by IGN's reporting. Adding to the intrigue, David Hayter, the English voice actor for Solid Snake, hinted at his involvement in an MGS4-related project on social media.
Despite the mounting evidence, Konami remains officially tight-lipped about any concrete plans for an MGS4 remake or its presence in Master Collection Vol. 2. The wait continues.
