Konami has recently confirmed the development of the highly anticipated second volume of the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection. However, the company admits that it does not want to rush the development process following the “pretty rough launch” of the first collection. During a ‘Q&A’ segment of the ‘Metal Gear Production Hotline’ broadcast, Noriaki Okamura, the series’ production producer, emphasized the importance of avoiding the same mistakes that plagued the initial release.
Okamura acknowledged the concerns surrounding the first volume and reassured fans that the team is committed to delivering a high-quality product with the second collection. While specific details about the upcoming release remain scarce, the team plans to keep fans updated on the progress, even if it means providing responses such as “we can’t answer that” or “we need more time.”
One of the challenges the team faces is determining which titles will be included in the second collection. While HD ports of Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, and 3 exist, the availability of similar ports for later titles is limited. This poses a dilemma for the team as they navigate through potential lineup decisions. Questions regarding the contents of the collection, the duration of the development process, and the expected release date remain unanswered at this time.
Speculation about the upcoming collection intensified when placeholder buttons for several 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, were reportedly found on Konami’s official website in 2023. While these findings have sparked excitement among fans, the official lineup for the second volume is still under consideration.
As fans eagerly anticipate the release of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Volume 2, the team behind the project is dedicated to delivering a product that surpasses expectations. By learning from the challenges of the past and maintaining open communication with the community, Konami aims to ensure a smoother launch for the second collection. While details may be scarce at the moment, the promise of a comprehensive lineup and an improved gaming experience gives enthusiasts something to look forward to in the near future.
