Metal Gear Solid Fan Remake Project Shadow Moses Has Been Cancelled
Shadow Moses Project, which brought together Metal Gear Solid fans interested in remaking Metal Gear Solid with modern visuals, is no more.
In a posting on the project's Facebook page, the team wrote the following:
Hi guys!
We have an important announcement to make today:
We have to cancel the Shadow Moses Project for reasons beyond our control.
We would like to thank everyone for the tremendous support we have received.
Shadow Moses team.
We wrote about the project back in January. You can find more details, including video footage of completed work, here. Even at the time, its creator, Airam Hernandez, acknowledged the assorted copyright issues related to the project. Additional details about exactly why the project was shut down, etc. are not public.

Our Take
This is an unfortunate, but not unexpected end of the project. The headline for our first story on the project read, Metal Gear Solid Fan Remake Is Impressive, But Likely Not Long For This World. With the future of Metal Gear Solid up in the air right now, it would have been nice to play this fan remake while waiting to see what happens next.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
