Hideo Kojima is left out of the development of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

Sony saved two surprises for the event Playstation Showcase 2023: the gameplay of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and the first teaser of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. That’s right, the popular franchise returns after the successful launch of the fifth installment.

Metal Gear Solid V marked an era in the video game industry, as one of Konami’s most ambitious projects. However, he was always involved in controversy due to his friction with Hideo Kojima.

The creative left the project and his name was removed from the box, despite having contributed a lot to the title’s history. As expected, with the release of the Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater trailer, many gamers wondered if Konami had involved Kojima.

Hideo Kojima is not involved in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

Unfortunately, it is not. Hideo Kojima is working on his own project: Death Stranding 2, which has already shared some teasers. It seems that his relationship with Konami has not been on good terms.

“they are not involved. The development team will work hard to create this remake and ports (of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection) so that [los jugadores] can be enjoyed on multiple platforms by even more users around the world,” a company representative told IGN.

He was referring to ideo Kojima, character designer Yoji Shinkawa, and other developers who left the company after Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

Why is it called Metal Gear Solid Delta?

The name is very unfamiliar to lovers of the Metal Gear Solid franchise, since this title could be called Metal Gear Solid 3. The Japanese company used its social networks to clarify the doubts of the community.

“The symbol Delta (Δ) was chosen because its meaning fits with the concept of the project of remake; Delta means ‘change’ or ‘difference’ without changing the structure”, they detailed via Twitter.

Rumors indicate that the game will remain faithful to the original game, like that Shadow of the Colossus remake. A saga that has not followed this trend, for example, is Resident Evil with its remakes.
