・PlayStation®3 METAL GEAR SOLID HD EDITION ・PlayStation®3 METAL GEAR SOLID 2 SONS OF LIBERTY HD EDITION Which products will be temporarily removed? Thank you for your continued support of the METAL GEAR series. We sincerely ask for your patience and understanding as we work towards making these products available for purchase once again. 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 8th, 2021. Thank you for playing the METAL GEAR series. Konami’s original announcement from November 7th follows: As of late April 2022 the games remain delisted and Konami has issued no update on the situation. Tohokushinsha is still in operation today but the licensing process in Japan is exceedingly complicated. It seems likely that this is where the licensed footage came from. While the company also provides translation and dubbing services for games, they are a 60-year-old film distributor partly owned by both Toei and the Tokyo Broadcasting Company. Both games’ end credits include a special thanks to Tohokushinsha Film Corporation. Konami explained at the time that licenses around “select historical archive footage” had expired and the games were being temporarily delisted while the company worked to renew them. It is uncertain exactly when the Shield TV versions ( MGS2, MGS3) were delisted but it likely occurred in this same late-November time frame.Metal Gear Solid 3 on Nintendo 3DS was not removed until December 1st.The streaming PS Now version of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection was reportedly removed from the service before the end of November.The Xbox 360’s “HD Edition” that included both games was delisted on November 18th.A bundle that included both titles was still available until closer to November 20th
