Our view on MGS4, an MGS1 remake, and Metal Gear’s next steps

We still think MGS4’s most likely route is a port, either as part of Master Collection Vol. 2 or as a standalone release. A full remake would take years and feels less realistic for the team’s immediate priorities.

Our view on MGS1 has not changed either: we suspect a remake has already been greenlit and is in development, especially following Delta’s strong sales. That remains our opinion, rather than a confirmed project announcement.

We also think a second team or external studio could be handling the MGS4 port and the work needed for Vol. 2, with Noriaki Okamura and Yuji Korekado serving as directors or advisors.

At the time of this post, Vol. 1 still had maintenance work ahead, while Delta and Fox Hunt continued receiving updates. Taken together, those projects leave plenty to contemplate about the team’s roadmap.

We hope an announcement or clearer roadmap arrives early next year. Until then, we wait and contemplate. What do you think?
