Konami Teases More Metal Gear Remakes—Which Classic Gets the Delta Treatment Next?

A new survey casually name-drops the unannounced Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, hinting another stealth classic bundle could be on the way.

Konami just put out Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater a few days shy of Metal Gear Solid 5 turning 10, and now they are straight-up asking fans which Metal Gear should get remade next. The options range from the MSX2 originals all the way to MGSV. That last one is a curveball.

What Konami is asking (and why this is interesting)

This all popped up around the Metal Gear Production Hotline stream for Tokyo Game Show 2025. On September 20, 2025, the Metal Gear Network account spotted a survey that looks like it is meant to go out after the show, and it is loaded with little clues about what Konami is weighing next.

  • One question asks what folks want from future streams, including:
    "information on Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2"
    That collection has not been officially announced.
  • Question 10 is the big one: it asks which Metal Gear games you want remade. The list covers basically the whole main series except MGS3 (because Delta just launched): the MSX2 duo Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, then up through Metal Gear Solid, MGS2, MGS4, Peace Walker, and the MGSV two-parter, Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain. There is also an 'other' box if you want to stump for a Metal Gear Rising or Metal Gear Acid remake.

Setting the stage

Metal Gear Solid 5 was the last mainline entry in the series, and its 10th anniversary has been the big milestone hanging over everything this fall. Konami marked the moment by releasing Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, an extremely faithful rebuild of what a lot of fans consider the high-water mark for the franchise.

Konami is clearly in its remake era across the board. Silent Hill came back with a remake of its most beloved entry in Silent Hill 2, while Silent Hill f also revived the brand with a new, original story. There is even a Silent Hill 1 remake confirmed. For what it is worth, Silent Hill f landed on Metacritic roughly in the same neighborhood as Silent Hill 3, but it did not reach the highs of the series’ first two classics or 2024’s Silent Hill 2 remake.

The eyebrow-raiser: MGSV on the remake list

Seeing MGSV listed is the surprising bit. That game still feels modern, plays great, and looks sharp. Remaking it right now would be like remodeling a house you just built. Not impossible, just odd.

So what actually makes sense?

If Konami really wants to do right by the series’ history, giving Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake a full-on rebuild would be huge. Those games are foundational, but they are also tangled up in decades of retcons and weird plot pivots. A modern remake could stitch everything together into one cohesive story.

That said, if I had to bet, Metal Gear Solid 1 feels like the obvious next pick. It is iconic, it is due, and it would slot neatly behind Delta in a tidy remake pipeline.

Inside baseball, for the curious

The survey itself is a bit of a peek behind the curtain: it looks like a post-show questionnaire for TGS 2025’s Production Hotline stream, but it is out in the wild early. If they are openly floating 'Master Collection Vol. 2' and taking a temperature check on remaking everything from the MSX2 days to MGSV, Konami is clearly mapping out multiple roads back into Metal Gear. Now it is just a matter of which one they choose first.
