Hideo Kojima is not part of Metal Gear Solid 3 remake

When Konami was asked why the studio opted to start with Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, the spokesman said that it is the first game based on the timeline.

"We chose Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater because it depicts the birth of Big Boss, which is the starting point of the Metal Gear series," the spokesman said. "Another reason is that many fans have been requesting a remake of this game for a long time."

It is not really surprising that Kojima won't be involved in the development of the upcoming remake. The game director had a public falling out with Konami during the production of Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain.

It would have been awesome for Kojima to join the development of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. However, it will be just wishful thinking given how Konami distanced itself from the game director.

Kojima went on to form Kojima Productions. The studio is currently working on Death Stranding 2, the sequel to his first game outside of Konami. Death Stranding 2 will be coming exclusively to the PS5 alongside the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection. The collection brings the original Metal Gear Solid and remasters of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater later this year.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox X/S.
