Konami has reiterated its plans for a second installment of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection, but admits it doesn’t want to rush development due to “all the issues” with the first collection.
This update was shared during the “Q&A” segment of the latest episode of “Metal Gear Production Hotline,” featuring Noriaki Okamura, the series’ production producer.
After confirming that the second volume is definitely coming, Okamura revealed that the team is aware that the first volume had a “pretty rocky launch” and that the goal is to avoid making the same mistake. This means that it may be a while before this second collection comes out:
“We are also concerned about the difficult launch of part 1, with all the problems that came with it. We will do everything we can to avoid that happening again, but we have to ask everyone to give us time.”
While there won’t necessarily be a lot of sharing about the new collection going forward, the team still wants to get in touch with everyone regularly – even if it’s with a response like “we can’t answer that” or “we need more time for that.”
As for the games in this second collection, the team apparently still doesn’t know what will be included:
“If you look at the potential titles… Okay, here’s the thing. We had HD ports of MGS1, 2 and 3. Or, sorry, not really 1, but the other two. But most of the titles that have come out since then don’t have a pre-existing HD port that we could use. Some are in HD, but those would all be really big titles, and that brings its own problems. So with all of these factors to consider with the line-up, all along the lines of ‘what’s in it?’ Or questions like ‘how long is it going to be in development, when is it coming out…’ It’s going to be a while before we have a clear picture, but when we do, we’ll let you know”
This latest update follows an alleged find on Konami’s official website in 2023, which reportedly revealed temporary buttons for a number of Metal Gear titles, including Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
