Calling the Metal Gear Solid series of games popular doesn’t do justice to the amount of love and passion both fans and developers have had for the series over the years. With the series often considered to be the child of game developer Hideo Kojima, it has a certain air to it that makes it unique from other games with similar themes.
After Kojima left Konami in October of 2015, he has not been able to continue his work with further Metal Gear Solid titles. Many have seen this as the death of the series with reception behind the later release of Metal Gear Survive being extremely negative. Despite the circumstances, many may be wondering about the possibility for a Metal Gear Solid 6. While some fans want to see more of Snake and the various characters involved in the series once more, many others don’t want Konami to touch the series ever again.
If Metal Gear Solid 6 were to be released, it would be extremely unlikely for the game to have any sort of familiar feelings ingrained in the series without Kojima or any of the members of Kojima Productions present. Even if a skilled team were to be behind it, it would still be a black sheep of the franchise alongside the aforementioned Metal Gear Survive. No matter the skill of a team, it would be very unlikely for a brand new team to bring out the same amount of heart to the project as Kojima and his team members. Being part of the Metal Gear series as well will always result in the game being compared to the other games in the series, which means that the expectations for a new game will be far too large for those who haven’t worked on others in the series previously.
Even if somehow a finished Metal Gear Solid 6 was a good game, it would still leave a bad taste in the mouths of many. Considering Kojima’s relationship with his games, the idea of making yet another Metal Gear game without his blessing or influence could come across as very disrespectful. Perhaps it would even taint the experience for any player aware of the circumstances that led to Kojima having to leave Konami.
Many Metal Gear fans likely agree that the best thing that could happen to the series without Kojima present would be to let it die with respect. While Konami has already released Metal Gear Solid themed Pachinko machines, the current state of the series is likely the best state for it.
The only way for most players and fans to readily accept a new Metal Gear Solid title would be if Kojima and Kojima Productions were at the helm once again. This scenario, however, is very unlikely unless Sony were to purchase Konami as many fans are hoping for. However, there is no official wording on this rumor, meaning that Metal Gear‘s future is left to the unknown with it likely just being looked back upon for its merits in video game history.
Metal Gear Solid 6 is not known to be in development.
