Kept Waiting No More: Metal Gear Solid 4 Escapes the PS3
METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol. 2 will launch on August 27, 2026, bringing several important chapters from the stealth series to Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC through Steam.
The collection is led by Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, which receives its first port since the game originally launched in 2008. The story follows an aging Solid Snake as he enters a world dominated by private military companies, advanced battlefield technology and the consequences of his previous missions.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is also included in its HD Collection form. Its campaign continues the story of Big Boss while combining tactical infiltration, base development, personnel management and cooperative operations.
Peace Walker supports online gameplay for up to six participants in compatible activities. Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 versions will additionally support local wireless multiplayer.
Metal Gear: Ghost Babel joins the package as bonus content. Originally released for Game Boy Color, the spin-off presents an alternate Solid Snake mission built around compact stealth environments, enemy patrol patterns and portable gameplay.
The collection also includes the Metal Gear Solid 4 Database, screenplay books containing in-game dialogue, detailed Master Books covering characters and story information, and a second digital soundtrack collection.
Players who pre-order can receive Cardboard Camouflage for Metal Gear Solid 4 and the Love Cardboard uniform for Peace Walker. Existing save data from Master Collection Vol. 1 can unlock additional gold-themed items in both principal games.
Metal Gear Solid 4 and Peace Walker will also be offered as separate digital purchases for players who do not want the complete package.
By combining Solid Snake’s final major mission, Big Boss’s military expansion and a rare portable spin-off, Master Collection Vol. 2 preserves three very different periods of Metal Gear history on current platforms.
