A new rumor reveals that a PS5-exclusive remake of Metal Gear Solid is in development. Rumors of a full remake of Metal Gear Solid have been circulating for the past couple of years, but there has been no official word on the same. While titles from the PS3 and PS4 generations often get remastered for new consoles, remakes of classic PS1 and PS2 games have gained popularity in recent times.
Many publishers are now trying to bring these fan-favorite games to a modern audience by fully remaking them from the ground up. In addition to a massive graphics overhaul, such re-releases can include quality-of-life enhancements, improved voice acting, entirely new cutscenes, and more. It also gives newer players a great opportunity to experience classic games with possibly modernized gameplay. Now, a new leak shares more details on the supported platforms of a supposed Metal Gear Solid remake.
A leak by Areajugones reveals that a remake of Metal Gear Solid is in development exclusively for the PlayStation 5. Areajugones mentions receiving this information from anonymous sources who state that this project has been in the works for years. While the leaker has not revealed any concrete details, they claim that this MGS title will indeed be a PS5-exclusive game. According to Areajugones, a full announcement of this project could be made relatively soon. Such rumors should be taken with a grain of salt and fans will have to wait for confirmation from Konami on a possible MGS remake.
One of the earlier rumors about a PS5 exclusive Metal Gear Solid remake dates back to September 2020. The original leak made note of it being a console-exclusive game, so it may come out on PC at launch or sometime after its initial release.
On October 19, Konami hosted a special Silent Hill presentation and confirmed that several new games in the franchise are currently in development. This list included the highly anticipated Silent Hill 2 remake for PS5 and PC. Perhaps Konami will announce a similar partnership with Sony regarding the rumored Metal Gear Solid remake.
In addition to the original game, leaks for the past year have revealed that several Metal Gear Solid remakes are reportedly being worked on. It looks like Konami wants to bring the first few titles in this iconic series to modern platforms, and it’ll be interesting to see if the PS5 exclusivity rumors end up being true whenever these announcements are made.
