Called Metal Gear Solid Alpha: Snake Eater, it is a remake of one of the series’ best games. 

In the trailer we saw close ups of an ant travelling through the jungle because a snake leaps from the water.

The screen then focused on our protagonist Snake, with a new HD look.

An MGS 3 Remake has been rumoured for a long time but this is the first that we’ve seen it. 

It is also the first time an official announcement has been made.

PS5 was the only platform announced, but it will also come to Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Alongside the remake announcement came the reveal that a new Metal Gear Solid collection is coming.

Metal Gear Solid vol. 1 Master Collection will feature the first three games from the series.

Though we didn’t get a good look it will likely be the PS3 remastered versions of the games.

While the remake had no release date, the collection will be releasing some time in Autumn 2023.
