Considering Konami's shifted most of its game development efforts into the mobile gaming market, perhaps the company would rather slap the Konami name onto the project and let Bluepoint Games do all the heavy lifting instead.Įither way, it's clear Metal Gear Solid is no longer a priority for Konami. Konami is never implicated as the developer for the remake in rumors, nor have very many fans expressed any desire to support a Konami-developed remake of the original game. Notice how every time a remake of the original game is discussed, Bluepoint Games is always touted as the developer for the job. There's a peculiar through line between all of the rumors and fan desires for a Metal Gear Solid remake that's worth pointing out here.
Of course, the reality of a remake being in development is entirely dependent on Konami, whether it's willing to dip back into triple-A game development or license out the franchise to a third-party developer. In fact, it's been rumored and reported on several times that a Metal Gear Solid remake is indeed in development, in some fashion. That's not surprising, considering Metal Gear Survive's poor reception. Rather, the rise of video game remakes has brought on the desire from fans to see a Metal Gear Solid remake. In the years since Metal Gear Survive, there's been no news, rumors, or leaks regarding any kind of Metal Gear Solid sequel or new entry. RELATED: Rumor: Metal Gear Solid Remake in Development, Says God of War 2021 Leaker There's a very real possibility that Konami is steering away from any and all efforts to make new games in the Metal Gear Solid franchise from now on.
Even moreso from the fans, who may have been willing to accept a proper Metal Gear Solid sequel without the franchise's brainchild overseeing development. Considering the only post-Hideo Kojima outing for Metal Gear was a complete critical and commercial flop, Konami has certainly put some distance between itself and the series. Even then, most people expect that to be a Bluepoint Games project rather than a Konami game.Īs rumors continue to fly about a potential Metal Gear Solid remake, there's a very high likelihood Konami isn't interested in bringing back the Metal Gear Solid series at all. The only major rumors involving the series recently have been surrounding a potential remake of the iconic first game. Two years later, the Metal Gear series has gone quiet with no sign of returning with a sequel. Since then, there's only been one other particularly infamous spin-off in the franchise. It's been five years since the last numbered entry in the Metal Gear Solid series released, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.
