Konami Weighs Metal Gear’s Next Move as Producer Calls MGS4 Remake ‘Pretty Hard’

Okamura cites PS3-era code as a major hurdle to revisiting Guns of the Patriots.

Overview

  • Series producer Noriaki Okamura says the team has not chosen its next Metal Gear project, leaving both remakes and a new entry on the table.
  • He explains that Metal Gear Solid 4 relied on hardware-specific solutions and unusual PS3 code, making a modern remake difficult.
  • Konami does not plan to apply Metal Gear Solid Delta’s remake approach universally and will tailor methods to each game.
  • Dataminer findings and earlier Konami teases suggest MGS4 could resurface in a future Master Collection, though no release has been announced.
  • Metal Gear Solid Delta launched on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S to strong reviews, with a rebuilt team of veterans and new developers driving the franchise’s revival.
