Konami has begun outlining the Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake, sharing early details shortly after the project was unveiled at a major gaming event. The initial information came with a teaser and a platform list, but additional notes from the company indicate several faithful reimaginings of the classic title. The remake is described as delivering stunning visuals and immersive sound design, while preserving the original voice work and the primary theme song performance.
According to the official message, the remake will showcase unprecedented graphics, highly immersive audio, and characters who will retain their original voice acting. The story remains richly faithful to the source, and the gameplay promises intensified survivability mechanics to navigate demanding environments. Notably, the iconic voice of Snake will be carried forward by David Hayter, ensuring a seamless connection to the legacy fans expect.
Konami has also confirmed that the project will carry the title Metal Gear Solid Δ, using the delta symbol in place of the numeral three. The teaser released alongside the announcement is not itself part of the remake, serving as a preface to the full experience fans are awaiting.
At present, a firm release date for MGS 3 Remake has not been announced. The plan is to bring the game to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC via Steam, making it accessible to players across North America and beyond.
Alongside the remake, Konami disclosed intentions to revisit the entire Metal Gear saga with remastered versions of the original titles. A Metal Gear Solid Master Collection is planned, featuring updated releases of Metal Gear Solid 1, Metal Gear Solid 2, and Metal Gear Solid 3. The collection is expected to arrive in multiple parts, allowing fans to replay or discover the classics in modern form.
Industry sources previously noted that a preview trailer for Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake was anticipated for a June showcase tied to a major gaming event in 2023. While that specific show was canceled, the project’s existence and direction were still publicly acknowledged around the time of the original announcement at a Sony event.
The original Metal Gear Solid 3 debuted on the PlayStation 2 in 2004 and stands as the third entry in the MGS series. It was created under the leadership of renowned game designer Hideo Kojima and marks the beginning of a distinctive timeline within the franchise. The plot follows the American operative codename Snake as he travels to the Soviet Union to locate and disrupt the development of the Shagohod, a tank capable of launching nuclear missiles. The mission’s themes blend Cold War intrigue with stealth gameplay that has defined the series for years.
