Konami Digital Entertainment's 2026 slate spans two very different projects. The Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.2, out August 27, brings Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots off the PS3 for the first time since its 2008 release, alongside Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD Edition and the Game Boy Color bonus Metal Gear Ghost Babel. The collection lands on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam at 6,600 yen, with 4K and 60fps support on some systems. Reviews note the scenario books are digitized from the 25th anniversary collection, and MGS4 also includes its database feature.
Separately, Genso Suikoden Star Leap is the series' first free-to-play entry and first mobile title. Announced on June 22, it launches first on iOS and Android in Japan, then worldwide on mobile, then on Steam. The game is a canonical prequel set four years before the original 1995 title, with a new protagonist and the 108 Stars. New companions are free, while past characters appear through gacha and events. The staggered order is meant to ensure stable gameplay per region and device. Development is in final stages, with a release date pending.
Together, the two projects show Konami balancing preservation of a classic narrative with a new, platform-staggered mobile experiment. Neither story overlaps, but both reflect a company pushing its legacy franchises onto broader hardware.
