Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater may not be the only new project in the franchise to come from Konami.Noriaki Okamura, who serves as the series producer, in an interview with Famitsu, stated that Konami is thinking about the next installments of the series. However, no definitive decisions have been made yet, as the company first wants to see the reception of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.

1. At the same time, Okamura explained that the development of a remake of the first Metal Gear Solid would be much more difficult than in the case of MGS3 , as it would require major changes and adding new elements. Of course, the game had already received one remake in the form of 2004's Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes for GameCube, but that production mainly improved the graphics without completely overhauling the gameplay.
2. In the interview, Okamura also admitted that one of Konami's priorities is to develop a path that will enable the Metal Gear brand to survive next 10-50 years. They need to hurry with this, as they believe that in order to achieve success, they need to set such a path together with the people who have been part of this series from the beginning, and there are fewer and fewer of them left in Konami.

After the company broke off its partnership with the series' creator Hideo Kojima in 2015, Konami developed Metal Gear Survive, but that game's failure caused the series to be shelved for a long time. Only recently has this approach begun to change. Last year, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 was released, which bundled Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater into one collection.

We already know that the MGS Master Collection Vol. 2 is planned as well. For now, the company is not revealing which games will be included in this set, but it seems that it will be Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and with a bit of luck we might also get Metal Gear Acid and Metal Gear Acid 2.

Developing a remake of Metal Gear Solid would be expensive, so it's not surprising that Konami has declared that the company first wants to see how Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will perform.

1. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater on Steam
2. Metal Gear Solid Delta Is Faithful to the Original to the Minute Details. It Is the Same as Snake Eater, Just Nicer and More Comfortable to Play
