Konami to Debut Metal Gear Solid Cat Products at CatCon 2026

Konami is set to debut a line of Metal Gear Solid-themed accessories and toys for cats at CatCon 2026, a promotional event tied to the upcoming release of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2. The collection, which includes cardboard scratching boxes, plush toys, and collars, will be available for purchase at the Konami booth during the convention on October 10 and 11 at the Pasadena Convention Center in California.

The merchandise draws inspiration from the stealth franchise's iconic items. The cardboard scratchers are modeled after the boxes used by characters Big Boss and Old Snake for infiltration. Other items include a plush toy shaped like the red exclamation point that appears when an enemy is alerted, and cat collars inspired by Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. A two-level cat tree based on an in-game cylindrical drum can has also been teased.

The launch of this cat collection is part of the marketing push for Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2, which is scheduled for release on August 27. The collection will bring Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, and Metal Gear Ghost Babel...
