Fans Explore a Modern Metal Gear Solid Remake With Unreal Engine 5
A devoted creator known as JacktheLightning shared a video that imagines how a contemporary remake of the iconic stealth classic might look. Metal Gear Solid first released in 1998, and a later remake arrived on the GameCube in 2004, titled The Twin Snakes. The video builds on that tradition by re-envisioning key moments through a fresh lens.
In the clip, the artist recreates the helipad sequence where Solid Snake and Liquid Snake spot a helicopter overhead. The showcase leans on Unreal Engine 5 to deliver modern visuals, while lighting benefits from the Lumen global illumination feature for more natural, dynamic lighting as the scene unfolds.
Speculation about an official Metal Gear Solid remake remains persistent across gaming communities. Reports circulating in December suggested the project could target the PlayStation 5, signaling a major revival for the franchise on contemporary hardware.
There has also been chatter from voice actors in the broader Metal Gear universe. Quinton Flynn, who provided voices for characters in the series, recently hinted at a potential major announcement. The chatter among fans is amplified by real-time neural network-generated discussions on platforms like Twitch, where communities are experimenting with AI-driven content creation.
