the return of the rumor, a big clue raises eyebrows

If Konami is currently at work to bring Silent Hill back to the forefront of the video game scene, it is not impossible that the Japanese publisher aims to resurrect old glories that built its legend. Moreover, more than a year ago now, some rumors indicated that the house was working on a reboot of Castlevania, but also and above all on a remake of the legendary Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Regarding the latter, the rumors suggested that its development had been entrusted to Virtuos, and that before its release, remastered versions of other episodes were in the pipeline.

Recently, the Singapore-based studio uploaded a video titled “A Day at Virtuos Montreal” aimed at attracting new talent. Nothing too crazy a priori, until the intervention of Louis-Alex Boismenu (at 1:14) who explains his role as concept artist. At the bottom right of the screen, we see the artbook The Art of Metal Gear Solid. Inevitably, the fans immediately made the connection with the rumors of 2021. Moreover, let’s not forget that the LinkedIn page of Zhiyang Li (a former Virtuos studio) always indicates that the guy worked on the remake of a major AAA action-adventure game without us knowing what it is precisely.

Last August, the insider Dusk Golem – known for its reliable information on survival horror – believed that Konami would take advantage of the Tokyo Game Show 2022 to formalize remasters of Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater but nothing happened.
