FULL STORY ======================================================================

Sorry folks, but the Metal Gear Solid 35th anniversary site has been
confirmed to be a fake.

"This site is not Konami's site," a Konami spokesperson told TRG. "We are currently considering how to deal with this site."

The fake site popped up on April 1, with the landing screen showing a Metal Gear Solid exclamation point with '35th' written below it. Leading some to believe news on a Metal Gear Solid game is on the way. However, if you check the site now, it's flogging 'Metal Gear Solid 35th Anniversary' NFTs.

But don't be too deflated Metal Gear fans, as it sounds like Konami may have something in the works for the anniversary on July 13.

Konami's comments seem to suggest it does have something up its sleeve but whether that's the long-coveted Metal Gear Solid 6 remains to be seen.

A new Metal Gear Solid game isn't completelyout of the realms of possibility, after all the developer hasn't completely abandoned the series, releasing Metal Gear Survive in 2018 which got mixed reviews.

Plus, there are plenty of directions the developer could take the series in, given that the Metal Gear games typically don't follow a strict chronology.
We could even see a remake of the first few game (or few games) in the
series, bringing them to a modern audience, like Ubisoft is doing with the Splinter Cell remake .

However, with Hideo Kojima no longer leading the charge on the series, we imagine a new Metal Gear game could be a bit different from previous series entries.

We'll likely learn more about what Konami has planned for the anniversary in the next few months. Let's just hope it's something juicy. Why Metal Gear Solid 2 remains hyper-relevant today
