Summary
Konami has commented on fan demand forMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.Metal Gear Solid 4was released as a PlayStation 3 exclusive in 2008. It launched to widespread critical acclaim with some pointing to it as one of the absolute best video games ever made. Unfortunately for those that never owned a PS3,Metal Gear Solid 4has remained trapped on the system ever since, with no remaster, remake, or port to speak of.
While Hideo Kojima’s split from Konami has seen theMetal Gear Solidfranchise go on hiatus, Konami is making an effort to put the beloved series back in the spotlight. It’s accomplishing this by releasing the classicMetal Gear Solidgames on modern platforms through Master Collections, withMaster Collection Vol. 1 featuring the originalMGS,Sons of Liberty,Snake Eater, and the 80s-eraMetal Geargames. The next collection has not been announced at the time of this writing, but there is hope from fans that it will includeMetal Gear Solid 4whenever it does see the light of day.

Okamura said, “We definitely are aware of this situation withMGS4. Unfortunately, we can’t really say too much at the moment,” and then said that with Master Collection Vol. 1 featuring the first threeMGSgames that fans can “probably connect the dots.”
