Kojima and Original Team Return for Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake

In response to inquiries from the gaming community about the development of the Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake, Konami has provided some answers. One of the responses addresses whether or not Hideo Kojima, the renowned creator of the series, was involved in the production of the remake, also known as Metal Gear Solid Delta. Fans have been curious about the future of the beloved franchise after the fallout between Konami and Kojima, but the announcement of a Silent Hill revival suggested that the company was committed to reclaiming its status as a respected game publisher. Rumors of the Snake Eater remake had circulated for some time before it was officially confirmed during the PlayStation showcase earlier this month. The project is being developed by a team composed of Konami staff and Virtuos, a supporting studio that has worked on numerous popular IPs, including Final Fantasy, Dark Souls, and NieR: Automata.

Unfortunately, Hideo Kojima will not be involved in the development of the Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake, according to a recent statement from a Konami spokesperson. Despite this, the team is dedicated to honoring Kojima's legacy by working hard on the remake and the ports for the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection. The spokesperson assures fans that the game will be available on multiple platforms for players all around the world to enjoy.

The decision to name the project Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was based on the meaning behind the Delta symbol (Δ) which represents change and difference in mathematics and variables, and the ability to change an amount without altering the structure. This signifies that the game's story will remain unchanged, keeping intact the elements that made it a fan favorite. The decision to remake Metal Gear Solid 3 was influenced by its position as the first game in the series' timeline, as well as its high demand from fans. Konami is closely monitoring player feedback to determine whether remakes of other games in the Metal Gear Solid series will be pursued.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is currently in development for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
