Metal Gear Solid 3 wasn’t released this year, but Konami promises a “high-quality” remake in 2025. Franchise producer Noriaki Okamura emphasizes that delivering a polished remake is Konami’s main focus for the upcoming year.

The return of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater as a remake has thrilled fans of the series. Recognized as one of the franchise’s most iconic entries, the announcement of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has sparked excitement to revisit this tactical espionage masterpiece, now reimagined with modern graphics and updated mechanics. For many, this remake represents a chance to experience the game’s unique story with a heightened level of quality.

Konami recognizes the significance of this project, making it their flagship title for the next year following a successful 2024, highlighted by the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which surpassed one million copies sold. Speaking to the Japanese outlet 4gamer, Noriaki Okamura shared that creating a remake worthy of the original is Konami’s primary mission. “Our top priority is to deliver a polished, high-quality Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater for our fans,” Okamura stated, adding that their goal is to retain the essence of the original while introducing modern mechanics.

The Remake Exists to Address a Generational Gap

In an earlier interview, Okamura explained that the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake exists to tackle a somber reality: younger gamers are unfamiliar with the series. “What really pushed us to develop the remake was the realization that many next-gen players are no longer familiar with the Metal Gear franchise. We essentially must ensure that the saga lives on for future generations,” he said.
