"We have visitors coming next week"
This is part of the exact words used by the official Metal Gear Twitter account that suddenly went active today.
Naturally, the tweet sent millions of Metal Gear fans around the globe to speculate on what this could all mean. After all, the Metal Gear franchise is known for dropping subtle hints and clues like these, even though its creator, Hideo Kojima, is long gone. Is a New Metal Gear Solid Game in the Works? https://twitter.com/Metalgear/status/1382399008816046081
The concerned tweet comes from Metal Gear's official Twitter account as it replied to a certain Tom Olsen. The individual posted an image of the Computer Room found in the 2001 title, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Library, with the bird cage for Emma Emmerich's pet parrot also featured prominently in the forefront of the uploaded photo.
What's even weirder about all of this is the Tom Olsen Twitter account isn't that old. It only became active and started tweeting these past few weeks. To add even more fuel to the speculation fire, the concerned account describes itself as a "Maintenance Technician at the Big Shell". It's also following only the New York Mets, Konami, Hideo Kojima, as well as the Metal Gear accounts on Twitter.
So far, all of the posts of the Tom Olsen account are of key locations from Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. One post, in particular, is hinting at a big reveal on April 30, which is supposed to be his birthday.
