Metal Gear Solid Collection stealthily adds the two original Metal Gear games

Metal Gear Solid's Master Collection will include both Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2.

Earlier today, Eurogamer first noted that Konami was seemingly teasing a mystery addition to the Metal Gear Solid collection. The developer/publisher revealed on their website that more additions would apparently be coming to the collection at some point in the future.

It looks like the PlayStation Store has let Konami's secret announcement out of the bag a bit early. Still, that might not actually be the case though, and it could be that Konami actually has several further secret reveals for their new Metal Gear Solid collection.

There's also been a lot of speculation about the collection just being the start of something new. The 'Vol. 1' in the collection's title implies there'll be another collection further down the road, and this brings up the possibility of Metal Gear Solid 4 finally being freed from the PS3 after so many years of fans wishing to play the game again on modern platforms.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a full remake of the original third game in the trilogy, was also announced by Konami earlier this week. We don't have a release window for this remake yet, unlike the collection, but it already looks to be an incredibly faithful remake, with near-identical level design from the original game.
