The big, huge, absolute megaton news, though, is that Metal Gear Solid 4 is finally going to be freed from its shackles: the first time the modern classic will be officially playable outside the PS3.

Don't lose hope, Metal Gear fans! Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots may still come to PC and current-gen consoles.

The internet has spotted the line-up of games for the unannounced Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2., which includes Metal Gear Solid 4, Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, and Metal Gear Solid 5.

Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 1 repackages the first three MGS outings, alongside the two lesser-known Metal Gear games.

Fans of Hideo Kojima have always had a hard time playing Metal Gear Solid 4, as the title has been exclusively on PS3 since its release over 15 years ago.

From Metal Gear's magnificent start on the MSX to the action-packed Metal Gear Rising and beyond, here's how the best games in the Konami franchise stack up next to each other.

While Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 has not been officially announced, its planning it safe to assume given the title of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1.

The "Master Collection" also includes "Metal Gear" and "Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake" — the original 2D, 8-bit games that kicked off the revered tale of a broken man on a world-saving mission.

The Metal Gear Solid team at Konami just can't seem to say that MGS 4 will be in the Master Collection Vol. 2.

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 won't just have the first three Metal Gear Solid games, as Konami recently confirmed.

Some stray buttons found on the new Metal Gear Solid Master Collection website may point towards future games in the collection.
