The developer working on Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has been revealed, and Konami is also involved with development.
In our previous story, we mentioned that the developer working on Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater had yet to be named, despite there being an official message from the development team addressed to the series’ fans. The name of the studio working on the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake has now been revealed.
A spokesperson from Konami has clarified that, in addition to Konami’s development team that is involved in the development of the Metal Gear series, the game is fully supported by developer Virtuous, which has been cooperating with the development of past Metal Gear titles. Based on this statement, it appears that the game is being co-developed by Konami’s internal development team as well as Virtuous.
In its official message, the development team for both MGS Delta: Snake Eater and MGS: Master Collection thanked fans for their continued support. It stated that it is excited to be working on the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, a beloved chapter in the Metal Gear series. In addition, the team is also working on the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection, a comprehensive compilation that commemorates the series’ 35th anniversary. This collection will give fans the opportunity to experience the games exactly as they were when first released, optimized for the latest platforms.
The Master Collection is currently slated for an Autumn 2023 release, while the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake has yet to be given a release window, as it is likely early in development. The PlayStation Store page for Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection states that it is the first volume in a saga of collections. It’s likely that Konami is planning to work on a second volume that possibly features Metal Gear Solid 4, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.
