Hideo Kojima, the legendary creator of the Metal Gear series, has stated he will not play the upcoming remake Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater. In a recent interview, when asked if he planned to play the remastered version of Metal Gear Solid 3, Kojima chuckled and outright declined. He shared insights on his decision to develop sequels for his Death Stranding franchise instead of returning to Metal Gear, emphasizing his focus on business aspects and creative expansion into other media like film and anime. Kojima's tumultuous split with Konami, which began in 2015, paved the way for his newfound independence and creativity with Kojima Productions. Currently, alongside other projects, he has a live-action Death Stranding film and a new Xbox game in the works.

Will Hideo Kojima collaborate with Konami again?

While Kojima has expressed that he will not engage with Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, conversations around potential collaboration persist. Producers from Konami have mentioned they would welcome the opportunity to work with Kojima again, though circumstances have shifted since his departure, making a reunion uncertain.

Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater is a highly anticipated remake of the iconic 2004 title, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, renowned for its compelling storytelling and innovative stealth gameplay. The remake is part of Konami's strategy to revitalize its classic franchises as it strengthens its presence in the gaming market. Metal Gear Solid has earned a legendary status among gamers particularly for its intricate narratives and complex characters, making the remake a significant event in the gaming community.
