Konami seems ready to spark excitement once again as it asks fans which Metal Gear title they want to see remastered next. Surprisingly, even Metal Gear Solid V is among the options—despite already looking and playing like a modern release.

For years, Konami has stayed relatively quiet in the high-profile gaming scene, even though the company has remained profitable thanks to its diverse portfolio. However, recent moves such as the release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and positive reception for Silent Hill f suggest the publisher is preparing for a strong comeback.

Tokyo Game Show Brings Fresh Buzz

At the upcoming Tokyo Game Show, Konami will continue its Metal Gear–Production Hotline video series. This presentation allows the development team to connect directly with fans and share updates about the legendary stealth-action franchise. Alongside the broadcast, Konami launched a detailed survey for players, offering them a chance to influence what could come next for Metal Gear.

What Fans Can Expect From the Survey

The fan poll, first spotted by Metal Gear Network, asks participants what kind of updates they would like from Konami’s showcases. Options include fresh details on Metal Gear Solid: The Master Collection Vol. 2 and news about upcoming projects in the franchise. For many longtime fans, both answers sound like a dream.

The most intriguing part of the survey comes in the form of a direct question: Which Metal Gear game would you like to see remade? Konami’s list covers almost every major title in the saga, including:

• Metal Gear
• Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
• Metal Gear Solid
• Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
• Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
• Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
• Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
• Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
• Other (write-in option for fans)

The Surprising Inclusion of MGS5

The biggest shock comes from seeing both Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain on the list. These games still look visually stunning and offer smooth performance, especially on PC. Many players argue that a remake isn’t necessary, as they already surpass the technical quality of most modern AAA games.

On the other hand, classics like Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear 2 could truly benefit from a ground-up remake. These older entries contain the foundation of the series’ legendary stealth mechanics but are limited by outdated hardware. Updating them would not only honor the franchise’s roots but also introduce new audiences to the origins of Snake’s story.

What Konami Should Focus On

While it’s tempting to revisit newer entries, many fans believe the real opportunity lies in reviving the earliest titles. Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, in particular, laid the groundwork for what later became the iconic Metal Gear Solid. A modernized version could show just how far ahead of its time the series was in terms of gameplay and storytelling.

Konami has already made a strong choice by remaking Snake Eater, which was perfectly positioned as both a fan favorite and a game that could benefit from modern visuals and controls. The next step, however, should look backward to preserve the full history of the series while giving new players a chance to experience its roots in the best way possible.

Final Thoughts

Although this is just a survey, Konami’s decision to ask fans directly marks a positive shift in its approach. Instead of guessing what the community wants, the publisher is opening the door for players to shape the future of Metal Gear. Whether it’s a remake of the original MSX classics or another fan favorite, one thing is certain: the franchise is alive again, and its future looks more exciting than it has in years.
