Metal Gear series art director Yoji Shinkawa created a special drawing for Famitsu's big 25th anniversary feature on the franchise this week. Take a look at the cover here, courtesy of Famitsu.com.

Speaking with Enterbrain's CEO in Famitsu's feature, Shinkawa said that he decided to put Solid Snake and Cyborg Ninja on the cover because he feel they represent the MGS series.

This feature is where we first learned of MGS4's Trophy patch update. The magazine does not provide an exact release date for the patch. The upcoming budget version of MGS4, which includes the patch by default, is going to be rolled out to shops some time in August, so current speculation is that the downloadable patch will be available around that time.

One image from the feature, also shown in Famitsu.com's promotional article, seems to have a hint at a Metal Gear related release in 2012:

This timeline shows all the various release. To the far right, "2012?"

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is due for release in 2013, so perhaps Konami has something else planned for this year.

Konami will hold the "Metal Gear 25th Anniversary Party" event at Tokyo Midtown on August 30. In addition to press, a few lucky members of the general public will be able to attend. Konami will select participants via raffle. Expect details later this week.

metal gear in HD for IOS etc.

Konami think releasing a MGS4 patch = new MGS release.

...I'll take it though.

More trolling from the Kojima.

Metal Gear Solid 1-4 on Steam. whatshisname GAF user redeemed.

[Kyoufu]

I don't see the point of MGS4 re-release/port. It's already getting a budget re-release with trophies included.

Unless this meant a 360/PC port.

25 Year Celebration just for a port ?


Project Ogre reveal ?

[Takao]

Wow, Portable Ops even gets ignored by Konami.

None of the non-Kojima directed games are listed there. I don't believe Konami thinks they exist post-release.

RIP Metal Gear Ac!d
Instead of MGA 3G/3D we got Never Dead which sold considerably worse

[gurasa]

TTP for president

[shinobi602]

MGS1 remake.

ALL THE MONEY

[Kafel]

MGS4 360, that's why trophies were added (it needed achievements)

[Pranay_]

MGS 1 Remake will be fantastic

[ElFly]

Wish there was a "install every chapter" patch instead.

[watershed]

MGS Twin Snakes HD port for the Wii U.

[immortal-joe]

You're looking waaaaaaay too hard here. It's a stylistic choice for the feature more than anything. There's the MGS 4 re-release, so to them that probably justifies it.

[ciaossu]

I wouldn't be surprised if it were an iOS release lol

[ponpo]

MGS1 with 4 engine would be so nice. Shadow Moses in 4 was great.

[DyTonic]

Finally, PC *PORTS* of MGS1, MGS2, MGS3 and MGS4 are bound to be released digitally via Valve's e-Commerce portal Steam.

I welcome that.

[randomwab]

MGS4 Subsistenance?

[GQman2121]

I had no idea about the trophy patch. Wow, I'm really excited all of a sudden to replay that game.

I don't see the point of MGS4 re-release/port. It's already getting a budget re-release with trophies included. Unless this meant a 360/PC port.

Maybe new box art? Help draw new and old players in?

[Major Zero]

Trophy for ps3, I'll replay it for a 4th time

[Macstorm]

MGS4 Subsistenance?

Yes, for PC via Steam and as a DLC update for PS3 with Move support...

[AB12]

MGS Twin Snakes HD port for the Wii U.

Would be awesome, but why not the HD twins too? Just take out the Nintendo stuff out, and it is golden.

[Fabrik]

Metal Gear?

MGS4 Vita.

MGS4 with trophies, and MGS4 for Xbox 360 with achievements. Note this post folks.

MGS4 360, that's why trophies were added (it needed achievements)

MGS4 Subsistenance?

Somewhere in this ballpark.

[Desmond]

It has to be a new game. They don't have substance/subsistence on that timeline, so why an MGS4 re-release?

edit: How come 1987 is red too? Just because it's the starting point or....... :O

[Chinner]

please lordy be pc ports.

[salromano]

I think it's more of a question than a hint.

Like, "Can we expect something new for Metal Gear this year?"

[King of the Potato People]

Just a downloable Metal Gear HD remake with some spruced up graphics, voice acting or comic book-style cut scenes would satisfy me.

[legacyzero]

PC port, believe in TTP http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=431507

I'm STILL hoping for this LOL

Added content + VR missions Subsistsistsiasistisence

I'LL BUY IT AT A HIGH PRICE!

[Danny-Boy]

HYPE!!!

They wouldn't include Metal Gear Rising in that timeline even if it was releasing this year.

25th anniversary???? Couldn't be a collection they just released one. I'm stumped.
