Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 gets Tokyo Game Show sign of life: ‘Since we called the first instalment Vol. 1, it’s only natural to expect a second one’

Noriaki Okamura, the producer of the Metal Gear Solid series, provided an update on the second volume of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection during a panel at the Tokyo Game Show. He acknowledged the long wait for the sequel and confirmed that it is in development. The first volume has been well-received, especially on PC, while emulation challenges have been noted for PlayStation. Metal Gear Solid 4 is expected to be included in Vol. 2, along with hopes for MGS Peace Walker, which has favorable emulation prospects. The team’s experience with MGS2 and MGS3 ports is seen as beneficial for tackling Peace Walker. There are discussions about including MGS5, referenced in datamined files from Vol. 1. Konami is considering whether to broadly interpret the "Metal Gear" legacy or stick to the "Metal Gear Solid" canon, with potential candidates for Vol. 2 including Metal Gear Solid: Ghost Babel, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, Metal Gear Ac!d 1 and 2, and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
