The critically-acclaimed action-adventure stealth video game series known as Metal Gear Solid has taken a break for the past few years, when the mastermind behind MGS, and Konami decided to go their separate ways. However, it seems that the publisher may be preparing for a return to the MGS franchise.
According to a recent issue of Famitsu, a well-respected Japanese video game magazine, the producer of MGS wrote that «2023 will be a year of many announcements» for Konami Digital Entertainment. Noriaki’s keyword for 2023 is «long-awaited,» igniting speculation among fans that a new mainline entry in the Metal Gear Solid series may be in development. It’s worth noting that Noriaki did not specifically mention MGS in his statement, but given his involvement with the series, it’s possible that he was alluding to a return to the MGS franchise.
It’s always thrilling to hear about potential new releases in a beloved series, it’s important to manage expectations. Okamura’s statement could simply mean that Konami has a number of announcements planned for 2023, and Metal Gear Solid it’s possible that not a single one will be related to Metal Gear Solid. Still, it’s natural for fans to get enthused about the possibility of a brand new game in the series, particularly after the less-than-stellar reception of the spin-off game MGS: Survive.
It’s worth noting that Hideo Kojima, the mastermind behind MGS, is not currently involved with Konami or the series currently. Kojima is busy with his own projects, such as the highly-anticipated game D.S., which was released in 2019. It’s unclear if Kojima will ever return to the Metal Gear Solid series, but as of now, it seems that any potential future releases will be developed separate from his involvement.
In this review of this article, it’s worth thinking about the impact that Hideo Kojima’s departure has had on the Metal Gear Solid franchise. Kojima was a significant driving force behind the series, and his absence has been felt by many fans. Although it’s feasible that a new team at Konami could deliver a engaging brand new game in the series, it’s hard to say whether it will be able to recapture the same magic that made the earlier games so beloved. It remains to be seen what the future holds for MGS, but for now, it’s exciting to think about the possibility of what a new entry in the series could bring.
