As part of the announcements in celebration of the 35th anniversary of the Metal Gear series, Konami confirmed that they are preparing for all versions of Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 that disappeared last year, to return to various platforms. digital. We are talking about the following games:

At the moment there is no exact release date for these versions, but at least we know that it won't be long before they will be available once again for all those interested in this series. On related topics, it seems that there were plans for a new Metal Gear game, but they were cancelled. Similarly, so you can skip the iconic stairway scene in the third title.

Editor's Note:

Rather than return these versions, Konami should make, or commission, new collections for modern platforms. It's about time there was a way to play Metal Gear Solid 4 beyond the PS3.
