The official reveal of a Steel Gear Strong 3 remake was one of many headliners of Sony’s latest PlayStation 5 showcase, however it possible received’t be completed for a while. Happily, a group of Steel Gear classics is coming to trendy platforms this fall and it’ll truly embody extra video games than initially anticipated.

Introduced alongside Steel Gear Strong 3 Delta, Konami’s Steel Gear Strong: Grasp Assortment Vol. 1 will come to PS5, Xbox Collection X/S, and PC by means of Steam in just some months, and the PlayStation retailer web page (through Eurogamer) now exhibits that the unique Steel Gear 1 and 2 can even be part of the bundle, each of which laid the groundwork for a sprawling framework of political intrigue, Chilly Struggle paranoia, and an excellent advanced household tree of guys named Snake.

Which means your complete factor will home the primary give video games within the espionage stealth collection:

• Steel Gear
• Steel Gear 2: Strong Snake
• Steel Gear Strong (Together with VR Missions/Particular Missions)

The primary two video games had been on the MSX2, Strong was on PS1, and Sons of Liberty and Snake Eater had been on PS2. That is basically the 2012 Steel Gear Strong HD Assortment which introduced these identical video games (minus Peace Walker on the PSP) to PS3 and Xbox 360, however which isn’t presently accessible on trendy platforms. The one sport not included from Steel Gear’s preliminary 20 yr run is Snake’s Revenge, the primary follow-up to the unique sport that wasn’t truly directed by author and creator Hideo Kojima.

All of those video games had been beforehand delisted from older storefronts in 2021 over points round “licenses for choose historic archive footage used in-game.” Konami says the brand new assortment will comprise the unique variations of the video games with “minimal edits to copyrighted contents.”

In both case, it’s quite a lot of Steel Gear, and if it’s on par with Konami’s different basic collections, will hopefully be an honest tribute to and preservation of the franchise.
