Introduction
The brainchild of Hideo Kojima, the franchise has enthralled players for over two decades with its complex stories, interesting characters, and cutting-edge gameplay.
With the recent announcement of a State of Play event dedicated to Metal Gear Solid, rumors are beginning to circulate about what we might see. In this article, we will take a look at the Metal Gear Solid franchise as a whole, the games that came before, and the hype around the State of Play. We will also speculate about what we might see at the event and what we are hoping to see.
What is the Metal Gear Solid Franchise?
Metal Gear Solid is an action-adventure stealth video game series created by Hideo Kojima and developed and published by Konami. It is set in a post-apocalyptic, near-future environment where rival nations are in a global arms race. The series follows Solid Snake (or some variation of him) as he embarks on missions to stop the development of nuclear weapons and eliminate those who would use them for evil purposes. The games have received universal acclaim for their detailed stories and characters, tight stealth gameplay, and groundbreaking visuals. They also feature a variety of meta themes and avant-garde visuals that often take the form of cutscenes, which are an integral part of the storytelling process in the games. The Metal Gear Solid series has sold over 49 million copies worldwide and has spawned numerous spin-offs and spin-off franchises. It is one of the most successful video game franchises in history and is beloved by millions of fans around the world.
The Games That Came Before
In total, there have been twelve Metal Gear Solid games released thus far (and counting). This includes the original Metal Gear Solid trilogy, the highly successful Portable Ops games, the critically acclaimed Peace Walker, the two numbered sequels (Metal Gear Solid 3 and 4), the two spin-off games(Rising and Ground Zeroes), and the first two VR missions (Transferring and Defector). Each game in the series has added something new to the mix and has further developed the story and characters of the series. From the introduction of the otaku-tinged Raiden in MGS2 to the introduction of the supernatural Styx Virus in MGS4, the series has constantly been evolving and pushing the boundaries.
The Hype Around State of Play
The announcement of a State of Play event dedicated to the Metal Gear Solid franchise has caused a huge amount of hype. With the franchise celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, there has been a lot of speculation about what we can expect to see. Is there going to be a new game announced? Is it going to be a remake or a remaster of an older game? Is Konami finally going to announce that Kojima is returning to the franchise? These are all questions that have fans feverishly discussing the possibilities.
What We Know So Far
What we do know so far is that the State of Play will be focusing on the history and legacy of the Metal Gear Solid franchise. This means we are likely to hear more about older games and we may even see some remastered or remade titles. We also know that there will be a special video message from Hideo Kojima at the event. He has been teasing the possibility of returning to the franchise for many years now and this could be the moment when we finally find out if it’s going to happen.
What We’re Hoping to See
Of course, we are hoping to see some brand new Metal Gear Solid games at the State of Play. All signs point to this being the case and we can only hope that Kojima will indeed be the one to lead it. We are also hoping that there will be some kind of remastered or remade version of the original Metal Gear Solid or Metal Gear Solid 2. This would be a great way to celebrate the franchise and give players the chance to experience these classic games in a modern way.
