Many fans have been holding out hope for a long time now that Konami has chosen to redo the original. Metal Gear Solid an entry that was released back in 1998. Although such a game has not yet been revealed to be in the works, rumors have been circulating around the creation for a long time. Now, a new tease (if you can even call that) has proven to some that Metal Gear Solid a remake is actually coming from one PlayStation studio.
Seen by Reddit recently, it was reported that Nicolas Doucet, creative director at PlayStation Japan Studio, has changed image image on social media to be like Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid franchise. The image in particular sees Astro Bot, the titular character from the PlayStation 5 launch game, take down the gear Big Boss wears in it. Metal Gear Solid V: The Pain of the Ghost. While Doucet may just be changing his profile image for the case, others think it may be straining that Japan Studios is working on a remake of MGS.
If you’re wondering how this would be possible in the first place since Japan Studio isn’t involved with Konami, well, a recent report has stated that the publisher is interested in allowing the Metal gear property to other studios around the world. Whether Japan Studio would be one of those teams remains to be seen, but the company has been involved in remodeling projects in the past.
In fact, Japan Studio helped Bluepoint Games in their work on PS5 entertainment of Demon Souls launched last year. So the studio has been involved in remakes of the past, making this premise not as remote as you might think at face value.
That being said, it’s worth emphasizing that Doucet works exclusively on Team Asobi at Studio Japan, which is a completely separate group of the company. The Asobi Team has been working exceptionally well Astro Playroom and Astro Bot: Rescue Mission over the past few years, and it’s a reason the team will continue with that series.
So, in short, this all says that you should not be carried away yet. Whether Doucet is really mocking something related Metal Gear Solid very hard to say, but fun to think about. Hopefully, if a Metal Gear Solid a remake is in development, Japan Studio or another team around the world is currently working on it.
