The Metal Gear Solid franchise features one of the most extensive and elaborate timelines in all of gaming. Konami’s epic espionage series unfurls its dense narrative across 11 games with an alternate history timeline that spans from the height of the cold war in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater all the way through to a neo-futuristic take on the 21st century in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
With a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 on the way as well as remasters of the original Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, what better time to dive back into Hideo Kojima’s iconic franchise.
