Metal Gear Solid 4 Remaster Teased by Konami

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nostalgia at the prospect of Konami working on a new version of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. I remember the thrill of playing MGS4 on my PlayStation 3 back in the day, the epic storyline, the intricate gameplay, and the iconic character of Old Snake.


Konami has given a hint that they are indeed developing a new edition of “Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.” Last year, the “Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1” was released, which included the first three games in the MGS series. The title of this collection made it seem likely that a “Volume 2” would follow, possibly including “Metal Gear Solid 4” and other entries. Although Konami hasn’t confirmed this yet, they are subtly hinting at future projects.

In an interview with IGN, Konami producer Noriaki Okamura hinted at the possibility of Metal Gear Solid 4 appearing on contemporary hardware, but couldn’t confirm anything definitively. He suggested that fans might be able to “connect the dots” regarding what could potentially be included in a future Master Collection Vol. 2. For now, he urged fans to keep an eye out for upcoming news about this potential release.

Okamura shared that they’re certainly familiar with the current status of Metal Gear Solid 4. However, due to Vol. 1 covering MGS 1-3, and so forth, they aren’t able to disclose much information at the moment. Currently, they are deliberating on the best path forward for the series, which is why they can’t share anything yet. Keep an eye out for updates!

A port of Metal Gear Solid 4 to contemporary gaming systems would be more significant than one might first assume. Unlike other games in the Metal Gear series, MGS4 has only been playable on PlayStation 3 consoles. Due to the distinctive architecture of the PS3, these games have not been backward compatible with later models like the PS4 and PS5, leaving them isolated on their original hardware. If Metal Gear Solid 4 is remastered soon, it would finally make the entire Metal Gear series accessible on current platforms, marking an end to over a decade of fan requests for this very update.
