Konami currently has a lot cooking for the Metal Gear franchise. After the recent release of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1, fans might be itching for a full-fledged remake of the original games. If that’s you, good news: according to a recent report, a Metal Gear Solid remake is still under development at Konami.

This report comes by way of gaming news site Areajugones, who had previously leaked the God of War Valhalla DLC ahead of its reveal at The Game Awards. Today, their sources are telling them that Konami has a remake of the first Metal Gear Solid game in production.
As of right now, the project is reportedly in its first phases and has no release date. Given that the company is currently focused on Metal Gear Solid Delta, a remake of MGS3: Snake Eater, it’s likely we won’t see this project for a while. However, it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility that this project is released in the next few years.
Many have theorized that Konami plans to release remakes of each of the mainline Metal Gear Solid games in chronological order. This would make sense, given that Metal Gear Solid is the next game timeline-wise. That is, if we skip MGS5: The Phantom Pain, which Konami likely won’t remake seeing as how it’s the most recent entry.
Additionally, the Metal Gear Solid Remake would reportedly skip PS4 and release only on PS5. The upcoming Snake Eater remake is doing the same, so this tracks. Sony has largely begun to leave the PS4 behind as more players join the PS5 generation daily.
This news should be taken with a big old bag full of salt, as always. These plans are by no means confirmed, and they’re subject to change at any moment even if the reports are accurate right now. We’ll be sure to let our readers know as soon as we hear more.
