There are many reasons to remake a game, but for Konami, the choice to make Metal Gear Solid Delta was motivated by concerns for young people.
Kids today – can they still tell you which one is Big Boss, The Boss, Solid Snake, Liquid Snake or Venom Snake just by looking at a picture? Okay, that’s probably out of reach for most people, let alone young people, but since 2018’s Metal Gear Survival (a game without creator Hideo Kojima’s involvement), Metal Gear Solid ” series is essentially dead, interest in the series has not completely died out. at an all-time high. There are plenty of fans, sure, but most of them probably grew up with them, and in a recent interview with Play Magazine (via GamesRadar), series producer Noriaki Okamura talked about the fact that many young The game doesn’t know much about Metal Gear Solid.

“One of the things that really motivated us to do the remake was because we realized that a lot of newer, younger generations of gamers were no longer familiar with the Metal Gear Solid series,” Okamura explained. Putting aside the underperforming Survival, there hasn’t been a new game since 2015’s Metal Gear Solid 5, and many new players haven’t seen a new main series title in a full decade came out.
“It’s basically our mission, our responsibility, to continue to make sure that this series continues to exist for future generations,” Okamura continued. “After all, we leave behind more than just DNA, as Solid Snake said – but then again, who was Solid Snake?” It’s a good question, and really not an easy one to answer.
Fans obviously also know that Metal Gear Solid 3 is chronologically the earliest in the series, which is part of the reason why they chose to remake it. While Metal Gear Solid Delta was originally slated to release this year, it will now likely be released in 2025, but a release date has yet to be confirmed.
