Metallic Gear Strong Remake appears one way or the other so shut – prefer it makes a lot sense – but additionally prefer it would possibly by no means occur. With Konami engaged on Silent Hill 2, and the supposed comeback of Splinter Cell, I feel we’re allowed to dream a couple of Metallic Gear Strong revival. After which there are moments like this, as Hogwarts Legacy composer J. Scott Rakozy, who created the soundtrack for the Harry Potter sandbox sport, shares a short clip that includes a brand new association of the long-lasting MGS theme. What might it imply?
Rakozy, who has additionally labored on Netflix sequence and Murderer’s Creed quick movies, shares a snippet of a brand new model of the unique Metallic Gear Strong theme. To start with, it sounds just like the orchestral, Harry Gregson-Williams model from MGS 2, however simply earlier than it’s about to kick off in full, Rakozy’s association takes a barely sinister-sounding flip.
It appears like it might match over a scene of Snake infiltrating and investigating Shadow Moses, or possibly a gap montage of the unique guards getting jumped by FOXHOUND. Rakozy shares the clip with the caption “if you realize, you realize.” You possibly can test it out right here:
Now, the Metallic Gear Strong fan in me desires to say it is a refined signal of an impending MGS remake. The approaching Silent Hill 2 means that Konami understands the potential worth in reviving its classics, and with Splinter Cell additionally getting the reboot remedy, alongside video games like RE4 Remake and 2023’s Useless Area performing nicely, it appears simple to argue {that a} Metallic Gear Strong revival is due.
There are, nevertheless, a few bothersome flies (if you realize, you realize) in that speculative soup. It wasn’t so way back that Donna Burke, who sang the James Bond-inflected theme for MGS 3, was caught recording a brand new model of the long-lasting ‘Snake Eater,’ resulting in recommendations of a potential Metallic Gear Strong 3 remake. That proved to be false – and proved false in such a approach that it might clarify Rakozy’s video.
See, Burke was the truth is engaged on an upcoming collaborative album of the perfect videogame music and themes. One other composer engaged on that album, Mason Liebermann, confirmed that they and Burke weren’t engaged on an “MGS challenge in any way,” however as a substitute “a particular album for videogame music lovers.”
So, possibly Rakozy is contributing, too. However then once more, possibly not. PCGamesN has contacted Rakozy for remark and can replace this story with any additional info.
Within the meantime, try a few of the different greatest stealth video games, or maybe the perfect upcoming video games that we all know for sure are arriving in 2023.
