Nearly three years on since the first Metal Gear Solid Master Collection, Konami is finally bringing a second batch of Metal Gear titles to console and PC with the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2. The new collection will include Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and the HD remaster version of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker — both of which serve as important entries in the main Metal Gear storyline — as well as the non-canonical (but still awesome) Game Boy Color spin-off, Metal Gear: Ghost Babel. This marks the first time Metal Gear Solid 4 has been available outside its original PS3 release. The package will also include a bunch of bonus archival materials to check out. Fans will be able to pick up the Metal Gear Master Collection Volume 2 for PS5, Switch, Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC when it launches on August 27. Physical edition preorders are available for $50 at online retailers. Preordering ahead of launch ensures you’ll receive the limited Day One Edition of the game, which includes some bonus in-game items.
Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 Preorder Bonuses
Preordering the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 gets you the Day One Edition of the game. This is essentially the standard edition of the game with a few extras, including the Cardboard Camouflage in-game costume for Metal Gear Solid 4, and the Love Box Uniform for Peace Walker. Physical copies also have a unique banner on the cover art denoting it’s the Day One Edition.
Along with the preorder bonuses, players who have Master Collection Vol. 1 save data on their system will also be able to unlock gold camo outfits for Snake in both Peace Walker and Metal Gear Solid 4.
Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 includes Metal Gear Solid 4, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, plus digital Master Books and screenplays for MGS 4 and Peace Walker, and a digital soundtrack featuring music from both games. Preordering also gets you the bonus in-game camo outfits.
Physical PS5, Switch, Switch 2, and Xbox Series X preorders are available for $50 at Best Buy. Note that the Switch 2 version is a Game Key-Card release, which means none of the game data is included on the card. Instead, it lets you download the digital version of the games from the eShop when inserted into a Switch 2. You’ll need at least 40 GB of free space to install the Switch 2 version. The other versions of the game include the full data on the disc or cartridge. Digital preorders are also available on consoles and on PC via Steam.
