Producer Confirms Progress of Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol.2

Anticipation Builds for Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol.2

Following the recent release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, fans of the franchise are eagerly looking ahead to the next installment from Konami: Volume 2 of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection. The excitement surrounding these beloved titles has sparked discussions about what this next collection will encompass.

Updates from the Tokyo Game Show 2025

During the Metal Gear Production Hotline segment at the Tokyo Game Show 2025, series producer Noriaki Okamura addressed the hunger for updates on Vol.2. According to a translation by X user Kuwabara357 and highlighted by Video Games Chronicle, Okamura reassured fans that development is ongoing. However, he urged patience as they continue to advance their projects.

“It has certainly taken quite a while now, ”Okamura noted.“Since we called the first installment ‘Vol.1, ’ it’s only natural to expect a second one, and that’s what we said years ago.”

Challenges and Expectations

Okamura also commented on the complexity of the development process, especially considering the technological advancements required for the classic titles. He emphasized that while significant progress is being made, the timeline remains uncertain. Fans have been left in suspense about the specific titles included in Vol.2.

“But, as we’ve repeated several times, we are making it. We’ve been working on it properly while also producing Metal Gear Solid Delta. At the right timing, we’d like to share with you all not only about its progress but also the direction going forward. I’m sorry, it feels like I always have to say this, but please wait just a little longer.”

What Could Be Included?

Since the release of Vol.1 nearly two years ago, speculation has been rife regarding the games that might comprise this next collection. Rumors suggest potential titles such as Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. The anticipation surrounding these selections offers insight into why Konami is taking the time necessary to ensure quality and player satisfaction.

A Technical Hurdle to Overcome

One of the most daunting tasks Konami faces is adapting MGS4, which was originally designed for the PlayStation 3’s unique CELL architecture, for modern consoles and PCs. Although the RPCS3 emulator has successfully managed to run MGS4 on PC, the official remastering efforts by Konami will involve meeting player expectations for graphical improvements and gameplay enhancements. The prospect of overcoming these challenges reflects a commitment to delivering an exceptional gaming experience.

For those eager to learn more, further updates are anticipated as development continues. The Metal Gear Solid franchise holds a special place in gaming history, and fans are hopeful that Volume 2 will live up to the high standards set by its predecessors.
