Metal Gear Solid 4, the iconic stealth game by Hideo Kojima, has remained exclusive to the PlayStation 3 console. Players eager to experience this 2008 hit have had to dust off their old consoles and reconnect them to their TVs.
However, recent developments provide compelling evidence that Metal Gear Solid 4 may soon make its way to PC, granting a wider audience the chance to embark on Solid Snake’s thrilling adventures. Let’s dive into the intriguing details that hint at this exciting possibility.
Expanding the Metal Gear Solid Universe on PC
Fans of the Metal Gear Solid series have reason to celebrate, as Konami has confirmed that the classic MGS games, including MGS, MGS2, MGS3, and the original Metal Gear titles, will be released on PC via the Master Collection Volume 1 on October 24.
Additionally, a full remake of Metal Gear Solid 3, titled Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater, is slated for release, likely in 2024. This news comes as a welcome surprise to Kojima and Solid Snake enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the series’ arrival on PC.
The Clues: A Peek into the Metal Gear Solid Website
A closer look at the revamped Metal Gear Solid website reveals an intriguing timeline showcasing the in-universe chronology of the series. Currently, the timeline features clickable buttons for all the games included in the Master Collection Volume 1. However, the timeline also displays static images for MGS4, MGS5, and Peace Walker, which are not yet clickable.
Intriguingly, examining the source code of the website provides a glimpse into future plans. The source code indicates that the static images for MGS4, MGS5, and Peace Walker are scheduled to become clickable buttons in the future.
Although inactive at present, these images bear labels such as “btn” for MGS4 and buttons labeled “tpp,” presumably referring to MGS5 The Phantom Pain, “pw” likely indicating Peace Walker, and “gz,” possibly denoting MGS Ground Zeroes.
Implications for the Master Collection Volume 2
Considering that the existing Master Collection Volume 1 games already have clickable buttons on the timeline site, it is reasonable to infer that when the Master Collection Volume 2 is announced, the included games will also receive their own clickable buttons on the timeline.
The presence of code for MGS4, MGS5, Ground Zeroes, and Peace Walker further fuels speculation that these titles might be making their way to PC.
A Glimpse into the Future: Possible MGS Remakes
Excitingly, the evidence suggests that the arrival of Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater may only be the beginning. There are indications that more MGS remakes are on the horizon, hinting at a future brimming with thrilling adventures for fans of the franchise.
The gaming community eagerly awaits further announcements to see just how expansive the Metal Gear Solid universe will become.
As the evidence mounts and anticipation builds, PC gamers can look forward to the possibility of experiencing Metal Gear Solid 4 and other iconic titles in the series. The expansion of the Metal Gear Solid franchise to PC marks an exciting chapter for both longtime fans and newcomers eager to embark on Solid Snake’s legendary journey.
