Konami brin🃏ging c🍷lassic games to Steam has Metal Gear and Silent Hill fans hoping for the same treatment.

Currently, it's incredibly difficult to play old Metal Gear games in particular, especially since Konami was forced to remove both Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 from PC in late 2021 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:over licen🧔sing issues for historical footage. Meanwhile, the original Metal Gear Solid is still available on PC, but only thrဣough the GOG storefront.
There is actually some hope for Metal Gear fans though, as Konami pledged earlier this year that it would relist ol🌠der titles from the series on digital sto💎refronts at some point in the future. Konami didn't specify whichꦉ games it would be relisting though, or when this would happen, and we've heard nothing more since the announcement in July.
As for the Silent Hill series, it's even more dire. The original Silent Hill is still locked exclusively to the PS1, anꦐd while Silent Hill 2 is playable on Xbox systems, it's barely compatible with modern PCs (to that end, a group of fans are actual♋ly ). If any series deserves to be preserved, it'd be hard to argue against Metal Gear and Silent Hill.
Meanwhile, we've seen nothing come to fruition from the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:report of multiple Silent Hill games being in the works, including a full remake of Silent Hill 2.
