So while I'm working on some larger charts, here's a smaller one. Metal Gear Solid, the very influential and beloved series from Konami is the center of today's chart. Let's head into it.
- Paintings of God from Silent Hill can be seen Metal Gear Solid 3.
- Metal Gear named Mk. II appears in Snatcher, as well as Metal Gear Solid 4
- Solid Snake makes appears as a merchant npc in Boktai 2. Master Otenko from Boktai appears in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
- A stage in Contra III: The Alien Wars is set in Neo Kobe, the setting of Snatcher
- Neo Kobe 2045 Speed King is a racing game set in Neo Kobe
- Random and Napoleon from Snatcher appear in Policenauts.
- Boktai and Megaman Battle Network have had multiple crossovers throughout the series. (More info here)
- Megaman Star Force is later in the same continuity as Mega Man Battle Network.
- The main Mega Man series is an alternate timeline.
- Snake appears in Super Smash Bros Ultimate which is hinted at being a sort of multiversal nexuspoint in the World of Light story mode.
- Snake appears in Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, which is hinted as being a canon experience for the characters in God of War Ragnarok.
A lot of stuff online sets Ape Escape, Splinter Cell and Syphon Filter in the same universe because of the Snake vs Monkey mode, but thats a thing thats unlocked later and is like a minigame, i dont consider it canon. Maybe i'll come around on that but I don't think it is.
A nice concise universe, altho given the nature of Metal Gear how much of this is canon is questionable given how the series is overly meta and wonky with unreliable narrators and twists. Obviously it can branch further if we look at the multiverse side of it but that's a tale for a different post.
