A new rumor has appeared that the highly anticipated remake of the classic game may be announced at an upcoming PlayStation showcase and will be exclusive to PlayStation 5.

XboxEra co-founder Nick Baker was the one who started this rumor during an XboxEra podcast, claiming that he had heard from a source that the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake could be announced soon at a PlayStation showcase.

Windows Central Managing Editor Jez Corden has corroborated what Baker said, saying he had heard a similar rumor about Metal Gear and PlayStation. Corden also claims that Sony had secured a deal with Konami for the rights to not only Metal Gear but also to Silent Hill and perhaps even a new Castlevania game, per another tweet.

Potential Launch of 'Metal Gear Solid 3' Remake as a PlayStation 5 Exclusive

So far, it's been confirmed that Silent Hill 2 is set to release as a PlayStation 5 exclusive with a PC launch a year later. Like Cyberpunk 2077, gamers can look forward to the game launching on both the current-gen and next-gen consoles, but it will be Xbox console exclusive and first-party exclusive with Xbox Game Pass.

The news of Metal Gear Solid 3's remake makes it an even more exciting prospect, and now, according to the report, it might launch as an exclusive to PlayStation 5. This rumor is yet to be confirmed or denied by Konami or Sony, but an upcoming PlayStation Showcase has been rumored to occur before the Summer Game Fest, which is scheduled to begin on June 8.

Take this with a grain of salt until an official announcement is made. It will be interesting to see how this develops in the coming months, and it's exciting to see the potential of more games from legendary franchises such as Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill coming to the PlayStation 5. Fans of the series may finally be able to relive the classic story of Snake Eater in a whole new light.
