Hideo Kojima's departure from Konami has left a massive hole in the stealth game genre. Although Assassin's Creed, especially Mirage, exists, the Tactical Espionage franchise (yes, that's the term Kojima prefers to be used to describe Metal Gear's genre), is still the frontrunner of video games that specialize in seeing an armed-to-the-teeth genetically enhanced soldier sneak around and clear out entire bases with nothing but a knife, a camo suit, and a SOCOM Mark 23 variant.
So, you can imagine the size of the exclamation point that appeared on top of every fan's head when Konami confirmed that it's bringing back Metal Gear in a big way.
Last year, Konami announced the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1, which bundles seven Metal Gear games in a single package, including the updated HD versions of the first three Metal Gear Solid games. Additionally, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was confirmed for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X. The long-rumored remake of what's arguably Hideo Kojima's best game has been in development for quite some time and is scheduled to be released later this year, as per Sony.
Between the upcoming release of the Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake and the presumed Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2, a rumored bundle that could finally bring Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriot outside of the PlayStation 3, Metal Gear fans already have plenty to cheer for, right?
