Major Game Anniversaries in October 2018
Metal Gear Solid – 20th Anniversary
Metal Gear Solid wasn’t the start of Konami’s Metal Gear franchise, but it is one of the most highly regarded releases of the last 20 years and one of the original PlayStation’s best games. By Oct. 20, however, it will have hit that 20-year mark. It came to Sony’s console in Japan just over a month earlier, but the anniversary of the US release is this month.
The game follows a gaming icon, Solid Snake, as he sets out on a mission to infiltrate a nuclear weapons facility and defeat a terrorist organization. The ‘tactical espionage action’ has continued in the series until the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and although the series creator, Hideo Kojima, is no longer at Konami, I doubt Survive is the last we’ll see of the Metal Gear name. Maybe we’ll see Metal Gear Solid’s anniversary celebrated by the game being part of the collection included on the upcoming PlayStation Classic.
