Metal Gear Remake In Production
A group remaking the original Metal Gear recently received approval for continuation on its project from Konami, with a few clauses.
The mod team, going by the name Outer Heaven, is remaking the 1987 Metal Gear using the Alien Swarm engine. Kotaku reports Konami says Outer Heavan can keep moving forward as long as the project does not make any money writing, "You cannot use our copyrighted material to promote a product you are selling or making any profit from."

Our Take
It's nice to see Konami giving the okay for the project to move forward. Publishers understandably often block projects like this to avoid consumer confusion. I'm curious to see the finished project.
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.
