Sources have indicated that Konami is currently working on a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, with the game expected to be released on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. This report comes after initial rumors that the game would be exclusive to PlayStation, though this claim has not been substantiated. Even if the Snake Eater remake is not exclusive to PlayStation, however, Sony could still potentially have some connection to the game through marketing rights or DLC. For example, Activision’s Call of Duty franchise is not exclusive to any single platform, but Sony has paid the company for timed-exclusive content and other benefits. As of yet, however, there is no indication that the rumored Snake Eater remake is specifically connected to PlayStation or any other specific platform.
Recent reports suggest that the game will be announced at the PlayStation Showcase event on May 24, although any details remain vague and unconfirmed. It should be noted that there have been some initial reports suggesting that Konami may be developing a new Castlevania title, although this news has not yet been confirmed. GameSpot has reached out to Konami for official comment on these rumors, but so far the company has remained tight-lipped.
In terms of upcoming gaming shows and events, while E3 has been cancelled, there are still more summertime gaming shows scheduled, including the Xbox Games Showcase and Ubisoft Forward in June. Rumors and reports have started circulating in advance of these events, so be sure to keep an eye out for any further details as they emerge.
GameSpot will be covering this year’s PlayStation Showcase in full, with updates and news throughout the event. The showcase is scheduled to take place on May 24 and will run for approximately an hour, with a focus on PS5 and PS VR 2 titles. Fans of the Metal Gear franchise and gamers looking forward to new titles on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC should be sure to tune in to this event for more information.
Overall, while the rumors of a Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake are intriguing, there remain many unknowns surrounding this title. Despite this, it is clear that Konami is working to continue developing and expanding its intellectual properties, and fans of these titles can likely look forward to more news in the months and years to come.
