<p>With the success of remakes for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/final-fantasy-vii">Final Fantasy VII</a> and Resident Evil, it’s no wonder that developers are looking at their IP bank for classic games to bring to the next generation. What’s interesting is, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/konami">Konami</a> could be reviving what is considered one of the greatest games for the original PlayStation.</p>

<p>A rumor from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIehCmr4erY">RedGamingTech</a> (via <a href="https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/ps5-playstation-5-games-ps1-metal-gear-sold-remake/">ComicBook</a>) suggests that Konami is looking to remake the first Metal Gear Solid for the PlayStation 5. The full remake is said to be a console exclusive; and besides that, it’s said the studio is also looking to supplement Metal Gear Solid with remasters for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps2/metal-gear-solid-2-sons-of-liberty">Metal Gear Solid II: Sons of Liberty</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps2/metal-gear-solid-3-snake-eater">Metal Gear Solid III: Snake Eater</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps3/metal-gear-solid-4-guns-of-the-patriots">Metal Gear Solid IV: Guns of Patriots</a>.</p>

<p>Should this be true, Hideo Kojima’s entire Metal Gear Solid series would be available to play on the PS5, as Metal Gear V: The Phantom Pain will be playable via backwards compatibility.</p>

<p>Admittedly the Metal Gear Solid series was said to have floundered when Kojima left the studio, and not too many people were pleased with 2018’s Metal Gear Survive. With the remake though, Konami is going to be banking on the nostalgia of several players, but I guess it would also be a cool introduction to the MGS series, seeing as the story has gotten pretty convoluted over the years.</p>

<p>Sadly, we should just take this as a rumor for now, but like I said, remakes have been all the rage recently, and Konami may just as well try to bank on one of their most popular titles.</p>

<p>The PlayStation 5 is set to launch on Nov. 12. Find more games in our updated list of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/upcoming">Upcoming PS5 Games</a>.</p>
