We can\u2019t just take it for granted that everyone would work with us again, or let ourselves be completely dependent on them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it seems extremely unlikely that Hideo Kojima will work on Metal Gear again after his high-profile exit from Konami amid the launch of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/metal-gear-solid-v-the-phantom-pain\">Metal Gear Solid 5<\/a> in September 2015. Kojima went on to take his studio, Kojima Productions, into new intellectual property territory with the release of Death Stranding, and is now working on a sequel among a number of other projects. There\u2019s even a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/death-stranding-movie-coming-from-a24-kojima-productions\">Death Stranding movie<\/a> in the works.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps mindful of that, Okamura said it was up to Konami\u2019s in-house Metal Gear team to do a good job with new entries in the series, including the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 3 remake, which was the focus of the livestream.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/metal-gear-solid-delta-snake-eater\">Metal Gear Solid \u0394: Snake Eater<\/a>, as it\u2019s known, is said to be a faithful remake of 2004&#8217;s Metal Gear Solid 3, so much so that Konami isn&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/konami-reportedly-isnt-recording-new-voice-acting-for-metal-gear-solid-3-remake\">even planning on recording new voice lines for it<\/a>. Despite that, the Delta symbol in the name of the remake is meant to highlight &#8220;&#8216;change&#8217; or &#8216;difference&#8217; without changing structure,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/konami-explains-why-theres-a-symbol-in-metal-gear-solid-3-remake\">Konami previously explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Okamura confirmed Kojima and the original staff will be credited in the Unreal Engine 5-powered remake, as they were in last year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/metal-gear-solid-master-collection-vol-1\">Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo by John Phillips\/Getty Images for Warner Bros.
