Later this month, Konami’s Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will bring a modern upgrade to Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, a game over two decades old. And if the new remaster does well, it may not be the last time Konami revisits an older Metal Gear Solid game.
When asked about other potential MGS remakes, Delta producer Yuji Korekado told Game Informer, “At the moment, we are focused on delivering Delta in the best possible way to the current generation, and once this game is released, if the fans feel they would like to see more from playing the game, then we would like to consider lots of other games in the future. For now, this is it.”
“We are always thinking about what we could do for the Metal Gear series,” added producer Noriaki Okamura. “But in regards to remaking future titles, currently we’re just focusing on the now, and we thought what would be the best way to reach both the old fans and potential new fans as well.”
The most in-demand candidate for a remake may be Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, which has been locked in on PS3 for 17 years. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 brought the original trilogy to consoles in 2023.
In a separate interview, Okamura and Korekado said they plan to hand the franchise over to a new generation of creators if Konami decides to make a new Metal Gear Solid games. The creator of the franchise, Hideo Kojima, recently indicated that he won’t play the new MGS Delta. Okamura has shared his admiration for Kojima and vocalized his desire to work with him on the MGS franchise in the future.
Ahead of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater’s August 28 launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, Konami revealed that Platinum Games worked on a new version of Snake’s Nightmare, a secret mode from the original game. Meanwhile, original Solid Snake voice actor David Hayter shared his thoughts about Metal Gear Solid 5, which was the only primary game in the series he didn’t lend his voice to.
