Okamura’s MGS1 remake wish is personal, with Metal Gear’s next project still undecided

We translated Noriaki Okamura’s comments about Metal Gear’s next step from the Tokyo Game Show 2025 Production Hotline.

After rebuilding the team and delivering Delta, he said the next project had not yet been decided. Metal Gear spans everything from pixel art to cinematic games, so future remakes or new projects would require different approaches and workloads.

He cited Delta’s approach—preserving the story and level design while improving graphics and controls—as one method suited to that game, rather than a template for the entire series.

Asked for his personal preference, Okamura said he would love to see an MGS1 remake. He made clear that this was his own wish, with no official promise about the next project, and described the difficulty as extremely high.
