Metal Gear Solid Teams Up With CatCon for Stealth-Themed Pet Gear
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Konami is bringing Metal Gear Solid to CatCon with exclusive stealth-themed pet merchandise and a meet and greet with viral cat influencer One Eared Uno.
Polygon reports that Konami is bringing the Metal Gear franchise to an unexpected venue this October by exhibiting at CatCon alongside viral feline influencer One Eared Uno. The collaboration serves as a creative marketing push for the upcoming Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, translating the iconic stealth box into actual cat scratch boxes alongside themed plush toys and collars.
For players and collectors, these items will likely become hot commodities. The exclusive merchandise is only available during the convention days at the CatCon floor and the OKS Gear Shop, meaning availability is tight and the secondary market markup will probably be steep.
Beyond the novelty and creator crossover, the partnership puts a spotlight on a great cause. CatCon events traditionally drive massive support for animal welfare, having raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for feline charities and successfully rehoming over a thousand rescue cats during previous weekends.
