Konami is sounding out fans on the future of Metal Gear, and the timing couldn’t be better. Fresh off the launch of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the publisher has circulated a survey asking players which entries in the legendary stealth-action series should be remade next. For longtime followers and newcomers alike, that’s an exciting sign that more classics could be returning with modern visuals and features.
The poll, which has been circulating among Japanese players and shared widely on social media, spans the full history of the franchise. Options reportedly range from the original 1987 Metal Gear all the way to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain from 2015, along with other fan favorites in between. By inviting the community to weigh in, Konami is hinting at a player-driven roadmap for remakes and remasters over the coming years.
For the brand, it’s also a statement of intent. A thoughtful, quality-first approach to remaking Metal Gear’s greatest hits could reintroduce the series to a new generation while recapturing what made it iconic in the first place. And these won’t necessarily be one-to-one recreations. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater itself isn’t just a graphical overhaul; it’s expected to add fresh elements, including a Fox Hunt multiplayer mode that could be showcased at the Tokyo Game Show. If that philosophy carries forward, future remakes might also bring modern control schemes, expanded modes, and smart quality-of-life upgrades without sacrificing the spirit of the originals.
Which chapter gets the nod next is anyone’s guess. The stealth classic that started it all, a beloved PlayStation-era milestone, or a more recent installment reimagined with current-gen tech—all have passionate followings. What’s clear is that interest is high, and giving the community a voice is a strong move.
As Konami tallies the results, fans can start dreaming about what a fully modernized Metal Gear could look like. Slick visuals, refined gameplay, and new ways to play—if the next remake follows Delta’s lead, the series may be on the verge of a major revival.
