Joining MGS1 and 2, plus the original Metal Gear games.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eaterwill see its first-ever release on PC thanks to the upcoming release of the series’ Master Collection, freshly confirmed for a Steam release this autumn.
As Alice wrote last month, hopes that MGS3 might finally make it to PC - having not been given the PC treatment handed to both MGS1 and 2 around their original releases - were raised by Konami’s announcement of theMetal Gear Solid: Master Collection Volume 1 during the recent PlayStation Showcase.
While Konami stayed schtum at the time about what platforms the collection - which includes the first free games inspace fan Hideo Kojima’s beloved stealth-action series, as well as their two earlier predecessors inMetal Gearand Snake’s Revenge - would be headed to, the publisher’s latest trailer has now confirmed that the Master Collection will hit Steam alongside consoles on October 24th.
The Master Collection will obviously be followed at some point by Konami’smuch-rumoured-now-real remake of Snake Eater, now calledMetal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, which was already confirmed for a PC release.
The whole “Volume 1” bit implies a second Master Collection at some point in the future, too, although there’s no indication of what that might include. The HD Collection also packed in PSP prequel Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and obviously MGSV’s Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain are already on PC.
Could this mean that Metal Gear Solid 4 finally escape the prison of the PlayStation 3, having never been released anywhere else since 2008? Only time will tell - but at least we can feed on a tree frog while we wait.
