Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots’ long-awaited (and completely unexpected) Trophy patch will arrive in August, publisher Konami has announced. The update will include 34 digital trinkets, and is being released as part of the franchise’s 25th anniversary plans.
In Japan, the PS3 exclusive is getting a full re-release. According to the Konami online marketplace, the updated version will include the option to fully install the game. Currently, the title installs between chapters.
It’s unclear whether the improved install feature will be added to existing copies of the game. Trophies, however, will be available to everyone. Hurrah.
Update: Konami has confirmed that patched copies of Metal Gear Solid 4 will be able to take advantage of the full installation option. Good news all around, then.

Kojima Productions themselves confirmed that the improved install feature will be added in the patch along with trophy support for those that already have the game:

@SupaLewigi Thanks for the heads up. I have updated the article.
@get2sammyb No problemo! Saw it on Andriasang earlier but they never seem to link to any sources so I went snooping =P
Very un-expected! I have been wanting to play through this game again. Now I have more a reason to do so!
I guess Konami will make some announcements regarding the 25th Anniversary; I would love to see a port of MGS4 for Vita! Konami showed off the possibilty when the Vita was announced, so surr it coukd have been a demonstration but it makes me wonder...
Well, since team Kojima failed at MG Rising, they've had nothing to do but finally get around to patching in trophies for MGS4, right? : )
Now they'll get to work on ZOE 3 and MGS5.
