Fans of stealth action and over-the-top cutscenes can both finally let their PS3s rest, as Konami has finally announced Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 2. After a long, long wait, the collection was announced at today's PlayStation State of Play broadcast.

Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 2 will launch on August 27, 2026 across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, Switch, and PC. The headline addition here is, of course Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, which was one of the last big PlayStation 3 exclusives still unavailable on modern platforms.
