Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 finally got its release date at yesterday’s State of Play, and we jumped for joy at the chance to play Metal Gear Solid 4 again. But there’s another excellent decision that perhaps went unnoticed by the masses waiting to get their hands on it.
We’re talking about Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker retaining its online co-op modes, a feature that did not receive its due back when the game first came out but remains as one of our favorite parts. You get to bring your friends along to its rather elaborate main missions complete with insane boss fights, or duke it out in deathmatches with up to six players which becomes quite challenging as you understand the mechanics.
Taking such a crucial part of the experience might not have been well-received, and its clear that Konami felt the same way, retaining the online modes despite taking them out of Metal Gear Solid 4’s latest version. With the Nintendo Switch 2 being a part of its list of compatible platforms, Peace Walker could very well see a new lease of life as more players discover the joys of bringing a few friends along to missions that were designed around cooperative play.
This Summer is going to be a good one for you if you’re a Metal Gear Solid fan with Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 out on August 27th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2.
