Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection Sneaks Onto PS3 This June

Snake? Snake!? SNAAAKE!? If you’re looking for a heavy dose of tactical espionage action, then Konami has just the package for you. It’s called Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection, it contains damn-near every MGS game to date, and it’s headed to U.S. PlayStation 3s sometime this June.

While the next game in the Metal Gear series, The Phantom Pain, is still likely quite a ways off and, yeah, you can already get a pretty hefty sampling of all things MGS through the currently available HD Collection, never before have all of these games been crammed under one roof, providing players with countless hours of sneaking, killing and goofing off inside of a cardboard box.

Originally teased by series creator Hideo Kojima himself via Twitter, Konami has now officially announced the impending June launch of Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection, featuring the original Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: HD Edition, Metal Gear Solid 3: HD Edition (which also includes the original MSV versions of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2), Metal Gear Solid 3: Trophy Edition, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD Edition and Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions. Yeah, that’s a hell of a lot of Snake.

“We wanted to give Metal Gear Solid fans the opportunity to experience the series from beginning to end, all on one console,” said Konami Digital Entertainment President Tomoyuki Tsuboi. “With the collection’s multiple titles, players can truly see how Metal Gear Solid evolved into the critically acclaimed and beloved franchise it is today.”

Also boasting two graphic novels by Ashley Wood, the only real omission from this collection are Portable Ops. But given just how much stuff has been shoved into a single game collection, we doubt anyone will complain.

A price point has not yet been set, so maybe go ahead and start saving up the ole allowance, just in case it’s all coming at a premium.
