Unannounced AAA remake confirmed by Virtuos former lead programmer amid MGS 3 remake rumors
Singaporean studio Virtuos has been reportedly working on an “unannounced AAA action adventure game remake” since 2018. The information was spotted on a LinkedIn page of one of the company’s former devs.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Virtuos former software engineer Zhiyang Li was responsible for upgrading the game engine to support 4K on certain platforms, designing the working technical process for level art production, and leading the team for “all-destruction scene production through the entire game.”
Li’s LinkedIn page was spotted by Video Games Chronicle. The news came days after the outlet named Virtuos as the studio behind the rumored Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake.
However, it is still unclear whether the project mentioned by Zhiyang Li has anything to do with the MGS franchise.
Virtuos was founded in 2004 and is best known for porting numerous games to different platforms, as well as serving as an outsourcing studio for other companies.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, directed by Hideo Kojima and released in 2004, is a prequel to the original MGS. It has an average score of 91/100 on Metacritic and is often considered one of the best video games of all time.
