Metal Gear Solid 6 – everything we know so far
Although there is no confirmation of one Metal Gear Solid6 on the horizon, it seems unlikely that Japanese entertainment giant Konami would abandon one of its most beloved properties so easily.
While Konami the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 last year and is still working on the Metal Gear Solid3 remake, the prospect of one Metal Gear Solid6 is further removed by the absence of franchise creator Hideo Kojima. The renowned author was largely the driving force behind the series, but parted ways with Konami after the successful release of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain in 2015. Since then, Kojima has founded his own studio, Kojima Productions, which is responsible for Death stranding and the next one Death Stranding 2: On the beach.
Those who are looking for a direct spiritual successor to the Metal gear solid series may be in luck, however, as Kojima has announced that he is working on a new action spy game called Doctor which he promises will be “the pinnacle of my work.” While Doctor Certainly sounds exciting, Kojima does not own the rights to it Metal gear solidmeaning any official follow-up would have to come with Konami’s blessing. We’ve scoured the internet for clues as to what Konami might be planning on this front. Read on for more information.

Metal Gear Solid 6 – what we know
Metal gear is in a strange kind of limbo right now, at least in terms of new games in the main series. Hideo Kojima, who now works in his own studio, has long since severed ties with Konami. However, Konami still owns the rights to the series. So far, Konami has only released one Kojima-free Metal gear title: Metal Gear survives.
Currently we are waiting for the release of the Metal Gear Solid3 remake, which was announced at a PlayStation Showcase event last year. This could be a testing ground of sorts for the series, and could potentially be used to justify a new addition to the series Metal gear solid saga.
We introduce ourselves as Metal Gear Solid6or a new series entry, is on its way, it will be released on PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC at the very least.
Metal Gear Solid 6 – what we want to see
Metal Gear Solid6 may not have been confirmed by Konami yet, but here’s what we’d like to see in a new version Metal gear solid game.
Return to the sandbox
Ground zeros And The phantom pain saw a clear shift in the Metal gear solid format. In a similar way to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomthe games took the essential elements of the Metal gear formula and re-ran them within an open-world sandbox environment.
It was a big deal for a series known for its confined spaces to instead offer an open space that you could gradually exercise control over. The change in philosophy has rejuvenated the series and any sequel should continue that trend by iterating on the wealth of changes Metal Gear Solid5 introduced.
More science fiction
As much as I liked it Metal Gear Solid5I found the trappings of the 1980s somewhat limiting, especially compared to the over-the-top sci-fi bombast of Metal Gear Rising: Revenge. As much as I love the more subdued and historical side of Metal gearI know I’m not the only one who misses the awesome giant mech battles Metal Gear Solid 4. Metal Gear has always been eerily prescient when looking to the future, and I’d like to see more.
Story
Metal Gear Solid5 ended with the reveal that you weren’t playing as Big Boss, but as a man who had been brainwashed and surgically altered to think and look like he was Big Boss. It was a leftfield twist, but also explains how Snake was able to kill Big Boss twice in the original Metal gear games.
In the first Metal gearSnake kills the doppelgänger (also known as ‘Venom’ Snake) and in Metal gear 2 he kills the real Big Boss.
There are many places where Metal Gear Solid6 could pick up the story, but a likely candidate would be right after the events of Metal Gear Solid5possibly as Big Boss establishes Outer Heaven, his renegade state. This would give fans the chance to meet characters like Gray Fox and Dr. Pettrovich again, albeit from a new perspective. Alternatively, Konami could take a leaf out of it Metal Gear Rising: Revenge‘s book and focus on the future of Metal gear and the long-term consequences of its characters’ actions.
Unanswered questions
Although Konami disputes this, many people believe so Metal Gear Solid5 has not yet been completed. The game’s final mission, episode 51, has literally been removed from the game, so there’s little resolution when it comes to Eli, Big Boss’s clone. At one point he steals a mech from your base and disappears, but thanks to the cut mission you never have to give chase. While The phantom pain‘s collector’s edition revealed what would have happened during the cut mission, it would be great to play that last part and see Eli, the boy soldier, become Liquid Snake, your nemesis throughout Metal Gear Solid1, 2And 4.
Hideo Kojima’s departure from Konami does not necessarily mean the end for Metal Gear Solid. However, if the publisher wants to continue its most famous series for itself, it better be prepared to fill some pretty big boots.
