This remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater being announced is a big deal for a variety of reasons. For starters, the third Metal Gear Solid entry is one of the most acclaimed and beloved in the series, which means that this reveal is something that most fans are surely thrilled about. Beyond this, though, Metal Gear Solid as a franchise has been on ice for over five years. The last installment in the series to come about was 2018’s Metal Gear: Survive, which was met with quite a negative response. Outside of Survive, the last mainline entry to release was all the way back in 2015 with Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. To know that Metal Gear Solid is now coming back in any fashion, even if it happens to be in the form of a remake, is something that fans have been begging to see for many, many years.ย
