The rumors about a new edition of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater have been around for a long time. There was also talk of a PlayStation-exclusive deal in this context, but according to an insider, the comeback could also end up on other platforms.
Later this week, namely on May 24, 2023 at 10:00 p.m., Sony will broadcast its big PlayStation Showcase and present upcoming highlights in more detail. Rumor has it that the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater will also be part of the line-up – but contrary to Sony’s appearance and other previous speculations, the title could not be PS5-exclusive.
At least that’s what the usually well-informed industry experts are reporting Insiders Gaming. Accordingly, what is currently probably the worst-kept secret will be revealed on Thursday with a teaser clip; there is probably no gameplay trailer on the PlayStation Showcase yet.
More interesting: According to unspecified sources, the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater will not appear exclusively on PlayStation 5, but is also planned for Xbox Series X/S and PC (Steam). However, it is unclear whether the PlayStation version might receive any exclusive content in the form of potential DLC or not.
Previously, rumors about such a remake had persisted for years. As early as October 2021, the English-speaking colleagues from VGC based on own sources that Virtuos as the developer studio is responsible for this. The original game was released in November 2004 and sold nearly 2.5 million copies in Asia and America as of December 2024. By 2021, the title had sold more than 4 million copies worldwide.
The Metal Gear series is one of the biggest and most important video game series ever. This year the series turns 25 and we’re taking this as an opportunity to do our big Metal Gear history, today with part 2.
