‘Metal Gear Solid 2’, ‘Metal Gear Solid 3’ Removed From Digital Storefronts Today For License Renewals
If by chance you go looking for Metal Gear Solid 2 or Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater today, and you can’t find them on digital storefronts, don’t panic. Konami announced late yesterday that they are temporarily removing both titles from digital storefronts in order to renew the licenses for some of the historical archive footage used in each game.
“We are currently working on renewing the licenses for select historical archive footage used in-game, therefore, we have made the temporary decision to begin suspending the sale of Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, and all products that include these games from digital storefronts globally starting from November 8, 2021,” reads the announcement. “We sincerely ask for your patience and understanding as we work towards making these products available for purchase once again.”
This all comes off of last month’s report that Metal Gear Solid 3 will be receiving a full remake by Virtuos, an external Chinese studio, while other entries in the series will be receiving remasters/re-releases on modern hardware.
The move affects the following consoles and platforms:
PlayStation 3:
- Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty HD Edition
- Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater HD Edition
- Metal Gear Solid HD Edition
PS Vita
- Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty HD Edition
- Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater HD Edition
- Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
PlayStation Now
- Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
Xbox 360
- Metal Gear Solid HD Edition: 2 & 3
3DS
- Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D
GOG.com
- Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance
NVIDIA SHIELD
- Metal Gear Solid 2 HD for SHIELD TV
- Metal Gear Solid 3 HD for SHIELD TV
No word on when the titles will return to digital storefronts. Meanwhile, Oscar Isaac is set to play Solid Snake in the upcoming film adaptation of Metal Gear Solid, directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
