MGS 3 Remake From Virtuos - One Rumor Debunked, Another Persists
Metal Gear Solid fans have been anticipating a new game in the series for quite some time. Meanwhile, another indication has emerged, indicating that Virtuos may be working on a remake of the third installment. The new reports dovetail with last year's promising rumors on the subject.
The footage, designed to encourage seeking employment at Chinese studio Virtuos, has stirred excitement among gamers. There have been reports for some time about the company acquiring a license to develop games from the Metal Gear Solid series. Adding spice to the matter is the fact that in a promotional video from the studio's Montreal office, a artbook dedicated to the iconic brand can be seen.
At the same time, the first video showing the development process was to be published online. It allegedly suggested the possibility of the game being announced at this year's The Game Awards gala. However, Insider-Gaming has debunked this information.
Conjecture continues
The topic is all the more interesting because last year Video Games Chronicle reported that Virtuos is currently working on a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. At the time, the rumor was confirmed by a statement from one of the Chinese studio's employees. He suggested that work on the game was underway, and that the title would offer support for 4K resolution.
The renaissance of Konami's iconic games
The unconfirmed information and speculation about a remake of one of the Metal Gear Solid installments is part of a broader plan to refresh Konami's legendary titles. A year ago we reported that the company intends to bring back to life its three most recognizable brands: in addition to the aforementioned series, also Castlevania and Silent Hill. In turn, a few months later news broke that the company wanted to bring back the withdrawn MGS games.
The truth may be disappointing
Among the voices of hope and joy there are also those casting doubt on the aforementioned rumors and reports. Indeed, there is no shortage of opinions that the book The Art of Metal Gear Solid in Virtuos recruitment material appeared solely to attract more potential employees. Well, it remains to wait for official information on the alleged remake of Konami's iconic game.
