In an article posted on the Metal Gear Portal, Konami explained: “Was are you? “We are currently working on renewing the licenses for each historical archive footage used in the game, thus the temporary decision made to stop the sale of Metal Gear Solid 2 and the entire company’s digital storefronts from November 8th, 2021.” The required license renewals take over 12 games, with some of them::
PS3 Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty HD Edition. PS3 – Solid 3 Snake Eater HD – Edition. PS3 Metal Gear Solid HD Edition. PS Vita Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty HD Edition. PS Vita Steel Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater HD Edition. PS Vita Metal Gear Solid HD collection. PlayStation Now Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. Xbox 360 – Solid HD Edition: 2 & 3 – Xbox 360, & 3 – Xbox 360, & 3 – Xbox 360. Nintendo 3DS Solid Snake Eater 3D. GOG.com metal gear Solid 2 SUBSTANCE: A sabotage. For Nvidia Shield Metal Gear Solid 2 HD for Shield TV. Nvidia Sulfate Metal Gear Solid 3 for Sulfate TV.
Konami does not give details regarding what “historical archive footage” means, but it’s most likely the real-world footage in the games contained. For example, music licensing makes it difficult for the digital game to be sold out but not in this case. Since the Games are not so long to take place, so that when they arrive at the final, Konami is not able to warn him a few days ago. Let’s hope that the license renewals don’t look problematic and they’ll really be available for a new purchase.
