If you feel anytime you might want a copy of Metal Gear Solid 2 on PC, you should probably buy it today. Konami has announced that starting today, they plan to temporarily remove MGS2 (and 3, although not on PC) from digital stores while they renew the license for historical footage. used in the game. They plan to start selling again when the license is renewed, but that would require Konami to successfully complete something, and do you really trust them to do it?
“We’re currently working on renewing the licenses for some historical archival scenes used in the game, so we’ve made the interim decision to begin suspending sales of METAL GEAR SOLID 2, METAL GEAR SOLID 3 and all products including these games from Digital Stores globally starting November 8, 2021,” Konami said in Sunday announcement.
“We sincerely ask for your patience and understanding as we work towards making these products available for purchase again.”
Metal Gear Solid 2 is still available from GOG for £7.19 as I write this, but who knows exactly when it will go away — and for how long. My expectations of Konami are endless.
This does not affect MGS1, still available on GOG after MGS2 is pulled. Unless Konami stifles that. Which one, you know.
Recent rumors have confirmed that Konami will revive Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill and Castlevania with new games made by external developers. Many studios produced the Silent Hill game after Konami’s original Team Silent, but with little success. I wouldn’t want to see that repeated with MGS. And gave status of PES 2022 Nor would I trust Konami to do anything on her own. I think I want to see the series just end. Everything ends well. Everything must come to an end eventually.
