<p><span style="color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">Provided by Metro Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes &ndash; presumably the rumour&rsquo;s referring to the first Metal Gear Solid game pic: Konami</span></p>
<p class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">There&rsquo;s another rumour of a Metal Gear Solid remake making the rounds, one that says it&rsquo;s PS-only but may not be at The Game Awards.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">With Konami reviving its Silent Hill series, fans are equally hopeful to see the company return to its other dormant IPs, particularly Castlevania and Metal Gear Solid.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">The latter has always been a regular topic of rumours and speculation and earlier this year there were claims that Konami is planning on releasing remasters of the first three Metal Gear Solid games.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">Now, the newest rumour claims that Konami is working on a full PlayStation remake, one that will be formally revealed in the near future. Although that in itself is not an entirely new rumour, as no less than voice actor David Hayter suggested something similar last April.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">The immediate assumption is that any Metal Gear Solid announcement will be made at The Game Awards since that&rsquo;s happening later this week.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">However, the source of the rumour couldn&rsquo;t confirm if this was the case, meaning the announcement could happen sometime after The Game Awards. Apart from anything the fact that Hideo Kojima, best friend of presenter Geoff Keighley, will be there could be seen as a little awkward.</p>

<p class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">This comes from long-running Spanish site Areajugones, which claims to have heard about the Metal Gear Solid remake from anonymous sources.</p>

<p class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">While they were unable to ascertain any potential release date, they were told that the remake has been in development for several years and that an announcement will happen &lsquo;soon.&rsquo;</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">Areajugones has accurately leaked information before. Last year, it shared details on free monthly PlayStation Plus games ahead of a formal announcement and was the first to mention the existence of the red and black DualSense controllers.</p>

<p class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">Konami doing a Metal Gear Solid remake does seem to contradict the remaster claims, but there&rsquo;s also been rampant speculation of a remake of Metal Gear Solid : Snake Eater.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">Only a couple of months ago, fans believed they found evidence of its existence at Singaporean studio Virtuos and theorised that an announcement was being teased for The Game Awards.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">Between all these different rumours, it&rsquo;s becoming harder to judge how much of it is accurate. Konami itself has yet to confirm anything involving the Metal Gear Solid series and there&rsquo;s no mention of it attending The Game Awards in any capacity.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">Considering all the long-running Silent Hill rumours and insider claims eventually turned out to be entirely correct, and given the company&rsquo;s renewed interest in premium video games it&rsquo;s even remastering Suikoden, it&rsquo;s entirely believable that Konami might be planning to return to Metal Gear Solid.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="" style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">Whether it&rsquo;s in the form of a remake or remaster is another question entirely. Whatever it is, it likely won&rsquo;t involve series creator Hideo Kojima given his less than amicable departure from Konami in .</p>

Especially as he&rsquo;s also known to have at least one other game in development at the moment.</p>
