Shocking: Hideo Kojima is not involved in the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake

It shouldn’t really come as a surprise, but Konami has now announced that series creator Hideo Kojima is no longer involved in the development of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.

It’s bringing the original Metal Gear Solid on PS1, and the PS3 remasters of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater to PS5 later this year.
