Summary
A new rumor from an established leaker claims that a remake for the firstMetal Gear Solidgame is in the works at Konami. This would be a full reimagining ofMetal Gear Solid, complete with a modern graphical overhaul and revamped audio.
Metal Gear Solidand its Solid Snake protagonist are some of the most recognizable names in gaming. Released over 25 years ago, the firstMetal Gear Solidwas a pioneer in the stealth-action genre of games, and introduced a universe that still captivates fans to this day. For a long time, Konami resisted fans' requests to remake these earlier games for modern platforms. However, Konami announced in 2023 that it’sworking on a full remake ofMetal Gear Solid 3, calledMetal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. And fortunately for Solid Snake fans, new leaks suggest that Konami isn’t stopping there.
Spanish website Areajugonesreportedthat a remake for the firstMetal Gear Solidhas been in the works for years at Konami, and will become the studio’s main focus following the release ofMetal Gear Solid Delta. The leak claims that the remake will be available on the PS5, but not the PS4, inferring that the game is a current-gen exclusive. No mention was made of a Windows or Xbox release, but seeing thatMetal Gear Solid Deltais being released on PlayStation, Xbox, and Windows, it seems likely that theMetal Gear Solidremake will see a similar release. No information was shared about a potential release date, and seeing thatMetal Gear Solid Deltais still without one, theMetal Gear Solidremake’s release is likely not anytime soon.
What Details Did The Leak Reveal?
Areajugones accurately leaked the existence ofGod of War Ragnarok’s recently announced DLC, so there is reason to believe that the website’s sources are solid. The leak further explains that Konami is considering this remake as one of its most ambitious projects for the coming years, and based on what’s already been shown ofMetal Gear Solid Delta, fans have good reason to be excited.
Metal Gear Solid Deltafeatures a complete overhaulofMetal Gear Solid 3’s graphics, and the results are impressive. Based on this, fans can expect a similar approach for the rumoredMetal Gear Solidremake, which will presumably bring a completely modern look to the legendary game. This newest leak seems to line up with previous statements made by the developer.
Following the reveal ofMetal Gear Solid Delta,Konami stated that it’s more than open to remaking additionalMetal Gear Solidgames. At the time, Konami might have been hinting that much more is on the way.
