Introduction
The Metal Gear franchise remains one of the industrys most closely watched properties, and any news about a new collection draws immediate interest from players and publishers alike.
Konami released the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol.1 in October 2023, bringing classic entries to modern platforms including Nintendo Switch.
Now, attention has turned to what a potential next Metal Gear collection might include and which platforms it could target.
What was reported
VGC journalist Jordan Miller said in a recent video that he had been told a future Metal Gear collection could include PlatinumGames' action title Metal Gear Rising Revengeance along with Metal Gear Solid V.
Miller framed the information as an unconfirmed tip rather than an official announcement.
Konami has not publicly announced any new Metal Gear collection, and the company has made no statement confirming the titles discussed in that report.
Verified context and history
- Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is a PlatinumGames-developed spin-off originally released in 2013.
The game highlighted PlatinumGames reputation for high-speed action design following studio successes such as Bayonetta and later work on Nier Automata.
- Metal Gear Solid V, developed by Kojima Productions while Hideo Kojima was still with Konami, was released in 2014 (Ground Zeroes) and 2015 (The Phantom Pain) across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms.
- Konami issued the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol.1 in October 2023, a formal compilation that remastered and repackaged several classic Metal Gear Solid entries for modern systems, including the Nintendo Switch.
That release provides a recent example of Konamis approach to packaging legacy Metal Gear content for current players.
Why this matters
Collections and remasters are a common way for publishers to extend the lifecycle of legacy IP across modern platforms and digital storefronts such as the Nintendo eShop.
Players and industry watchers often look to outlets like Nintendo Direct for platform-specific announcements, but publishers also announce compilations directly.
Bottom line
At this stage the most verifiable facts are the identities and release histories of the relevant titles and Konamis prior Master Collection release.
Reports that a future collection will include Metal Gear Rising Revengeance and Metal Gear Solid V come from an industry journalist describing an unconfirmed source; until Konami issues an official announcement those reports should be treated as unverified.
