"Metal Gear Solid" may be having a remake, and it was revealed by a Twitter user named Faizan Shaikh, which has spotted a LinkedIn listing and post that looks for a lead software engineer for a project. The engineer opening was for Virtuous Studios, but it was only a contractual 9-month position from October 2018 to June 2019.

The project may be done, and the said game has ended its need for an engineer but it still does not mean that it is finished or ready for release. Moreover, the LinkedIn profile of the user with the name "Zhiyang Li" said that he worked in an AAA-rated game with Virtuos Studios, and it was a "ground remake," as well as added, "support to 4K."
