Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol 1 is now available worldwide, and already fans are discussing the possibility of a second.
Is Konami set to give fans more remasters for everyone's favourite spec ops soldier?
Rumours are circulating that Metal Gear Solid 4 will be made available on new platforms for the first time since its 2008 debut on the PlayStation 3.
Aside from this, a lot of the releases from this era were made for the PSP and PS Vita, so Konami could potentially opt for a handheld collection.
Surely they wouldn't release a collection without a mainline entry? Stranger things have happened.

To break down all the latest news, rumours and speculation, here's everything we know about the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol 2 and when we could see it hit store shelves.
While no official announcement has been made, it's believed that the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol 2 is now in the works by Konami.
This has stemmed from speculation online that Konami has already selected the games that will feature in the second compilation.
However, whether it will see the light of day is likely down to how well the first sells.
The first Master Collection was made up of seven games, with Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater being the latest entry, so it's fair to expect a similar number of titles post-2004.
Three games from Vol 2 supposedly leaked in June 2023, suggesting that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be included.
X (formerly Twitter) user Nitroid discovered placeholder buttons for these games on the Metal Gear Solid Website.
This was then corroborated by IGN, which believes those three titles are part of the proposed Master Collection Vol 2.
Depending on whether Konami wants to split the remaining games into Vol 2 and Vol 3, we believe the following games could be included in the next remastered collection:

Since Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol 2 has yet to be announced, no release date has been unveiled either.
Depending on how well Vol 1 sells, there's a chance we might hear something in 2024.
Konami is also working on a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 and several rumours have suggested a release might take place in 2024, so would that take precedence over Vol 2? We'll have to wait and see — but it's unlikely anything will transpire until the end of 2024 at the absolute earliest.
The Metal Gear Solid: Master
A new Metal Gear Solid Master Collection mod adds custom resolution, ultrawide support, and more to both Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3.
It's been nearly 10 years since the release of Hideo Kojima's final Metal Gear Solid game, MGSV: The Phantom Pain, and it's still a hot topic among fans. Along with discussions about what could have been with the game (which didn't launch with all intended features) and the circumstances surrounding the creator's exit from Konami, one topic that continues to be a lively discussion relates to the infamous character Quiet, played by Stefanie Joosten. In an interview with IGN, Joosten took some time to share her thoughts on the character in the years since the initial controversy surrounding Quiet, and how her views have changed in the years after. "It's been interesting to see the discussions about the character. Of course, I've seen them and read a lot of different perspectives on the character at the time," said Joosten. "And still, I respect the choices Kojima made and his team in designing the character. And also, of course, there's also just a choice of creating a visually appealing character. I think video games are, in a way, still a sort of fantasy world you enter, so I respect the choices regarding the Quiet appearance, for instance, being quite revealing." "But I also understand the perspective of the people that are not as happy with how she was portrayed," she continued. "This game came out in 2015, and I think the video game landscape has changed quite a lot since then. People are looking for more representation, and I really get it."
Fans were delighted to see David Hayter return to Metal Gear in a promotional video for the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Legacy Series (and recently released Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1).
Famitsu has released the latest weekly data for hardware and physical software sales in Japan, and Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 has debuted high in the charts. The collection occupies second and third place with its Switch and PS5 versions respectively, collectively having sold over 37,000 physical units at launch (over 19,000 on Switch, and over 13,000 on PS5).
Konami has enlisted fan favourite Metal Gear voice actor David Hayter to promote its recent series revival.
The Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection received a much-needed HD texture pack which improves the visuals of the second and third entries in the series.
Most people love the Metal Gear series and are quick to rank their favorite games in the franchise. But are most people going to bother to rank the actual Metal Gear robots? Nope! Let’s dive in.
Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 is out today for the Nintendo Switch, PS4/PS5, Xbox Series, and PC.
Konami has fixed one of the more glaring issues with the Master Collection version of Metal Gear Solid 1. When the game hit Steam three days ago, players were supposed to be able to download different language packs—Japanese, US English and what-have-you—via the game's launcher. Unfortunately, the relevant Steam pages were inexplicably AWOL, making international versions of the game inaccessible.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is set to look much better than the original game, judging from a new comparison video shared online.
It took a modder just hours to make a tool that would render Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 at higher resolutions.
Out of nowhere, Konami treated Metal Gear fans with a new trailer for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater at the first Xbox Partner Preview event, which gave us a look at the game in action for the very first time. While it was only a trailer intended to show off the game's new engine, it did give us some gameplay to look over, as well as a good idea of what the title may look like when it finally hits store shelves. Unfortunately, quite a few people aren't too happy with what they saw.
