With a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater officially in development, fans have been wondering if series creator Hideo Kojima is involved in its development. Unsurprisingly, the legendary game director won’t be making any contributions to the development of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, and his frequent artistic collaborator Yoji Shinkawa isn’t involved with this production either.
“They are not involved,” a Konami spokesperson said to IGN. “However, the development team will work hard to create this remake and also the ports–for Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection–so that they can be enjoyed on multiple platforms by even more players all around the world.”
As for the development team, Konami says that the “central role” will be handled by Konami developers who have been “involved in the production of the past games in the Metal Gear series,” and they’ll be working alongside Virtuos, a studio that has also been involved in the production of previous entries in the Metal Gear series.
