This mysteriously deleted video suggests the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake may be announced at The Game Awards
UPDATE 7.40pm UK: After discovering the footage used in the mysterious video has been taken from an Unreal Engine 5 assets pack, it now appears that the video is a hoax.
Whilst it’s unclear where the story originated – or why – for now, it’s best to presume this isn’t true until Konami, Virtuos, or TGA confirm otherwise. Original story follows.
I’ve just found that the video comes from here tho’
A free UE5 assets pack.
This doesn’t confirms or denies anything ofc, but it’s weird they used this instead of some actual work of their own.https://t.co/lfiUz2FWmV— GGFTL (@GGFTL1) October 30, 2022

ORIGINAL STORY 1pm UK: It looks like the long-rumoured Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake may be announced at the upcoming The Game Awards.
The news comes via a now-deleted video that reportedly popped up on Chinese studio Virtuos’ YouTube channel earlier today.
You can never delete something quicker than someone can save a copy of it, though; Virtuos’ video – regardless of whether it had been published intentionally or otherwise – is now doing the rounds, and has Metal Gear fans speculating that the remake may soon be formally confirmed.
It looks as though the teaser – which seems to be getting scrubbed as quickly as it’s being reuploaded – includes Morse code for the phrase “December 8, 1964”. 8th December is when the awards are set to be broadcast, whilst 1964 is the year in which Snake Eater is set (thanks, MP1st).
