Crafted by the renowned game director Hideo Kojima, *Metal Gear Solid HD Collection* brings together some of the most beloved titles from the *Metal Gear Solid* series in stunning high definition for the first time ever. The collection includes three full games: *Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty*, *Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater*, and *Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker*, offering both longtime and new fans a chance to experience the groundbreaking gameplay, artistry, and storytelling that define the MGS legacy. The *Metal Gear Solid (MGS)* series is the signature creation of Hideo Kojima, Japan's legendary game designer, and the pioneer of the stealth action genre. It has become a worldwide sensation, with more than 27 million units sold globally. In the game, players take on the role of a top-tier special forces agent tasked with carrying out solo stealth missions through enemy strongholds, dense jungles, and chaotic battlefields. Alone and surrounded by hostiles, even the most skilled operative will find survival a challenge. This is the essence of the series' appeal—the intellectual challenge of evading combat and the exhilaration of moving unseen through enemy lines. The MGS series is also celebrated for its intricate storytelling, which is tightly woven into the gameplay. The narratives are built on thorough research and reflect real-world societal issues and drama. These elements have elevated MGS into a sophisticated form of entertainment that crosses cultural and national boundaries, making it one of Japan's most influential contributions to the global content industry.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Two years after the Shadow Moses Incident, Solid Snake and Otacon, operating under Philanthropy, learn of a new Metal Gear being moved along the Hudson River. When Snake infiltrates the cargo ship, it is suddenly taken over by a band of Russian mercenaries led by Revolver Ocelot, who aim to steal the prototype. Another two years pass, and the Big Shell, an offshore oil rig built to replace the original site, is seized by a rebel group known as the Sons of Liberty. FOXHOUND's newest operative, Raiden, is dispatched to stop them. But the situation proves more complex than it appears. Metal Gear Solid 3: In 1964, CIA operative Naked Snake is deployed to Tselinoyarsk, USSR. With the help of Major Zero, Para-Medic, and his former instructor The Boss, Snake is assigned to rescue defector Sokolov, a Soviet scientist secretly working on a nuclear-powered tank called the Shagohod. Snake finds and protects Sokolov, but The Boss reveals she is defecting to the USSR, delivering two Davy Crockett warheads to Colonel Volgin. Sokolov is captured by the Cobra Unit, and Snake is pushed off a bridge by The Boss. Volgin then hijacks the Shagohod and detonates one of the warheads to hide his theft, which is later blamed on The Boss. Wounded, Snake is extracted using a Fulton recovery system. Metal Gear Solid - Peace Walker: Peace Walker begins on November 4, 1974. Big Boss leads his own private military force in Colombia after leaving the U.S. following the events of Portable Ops. A secretive paramilitary group, the "Peace Sentinels," has been stationed in Costa Rica, armed with an impressive arsenal. Despite their overwhelming firepower, the Costa Rican government is powerless to act due to a constitutional ban on a standing military. The Sentinels' growing influence risks upsetting the global balance between the Eastern and Western powers.
