Konamihas announced thatMetal Gear 2 and 3will soon be back on sale.
The announcement is part of the 35th-anniversary celebration of the Metal Gear series.
Players will soon be able to purchase the games Konami removed from sale in November 2021.
The developer delisted the games because the licensing of the historical footage used in the games had expired.
The videos include news footage of US President John F. Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Konami assured fans that the delistings were temporary at the time of removal.
However, it did not confirm the dates of reinstatement.
We now have a glimmer of hope with the assurance that the games will be back on sale.

To resume selling the titles, Konami has two options.
The developer can decide to remove the footage or obtain the license again.
We can only wait to see.
But the return of the classic games is excellent news regardless of the solution.
MGS2was launched in 2001, andMGS3in 2004.
The developer released the Nintendo Entertainment System version in North America a year later.
The game is the foundation of the nine-gameMetal GearandMetal Gear Solidfranchises.
Metal Gear was the first game Hideo Kojima directed.
He left Konami in late 2015.
When not writing, he can be found playing video games or watching F1.
