Game news 16 years later, they resurrect this official Metal Gear Solid game that you didn’t even know
Although it has not produced any new game for almost ten years, the Metal Gear saga continues to be anchored in the news and with a few surprises: in this case, the resurrection of ‘a particularly little-known opus, but a telling one for an untold story.
Return to the front
There was a time when mobile games could not count on the flexibility of iOS or Android and when offering a 3D adventure was a luxury given the hardware of the time: however, that did not stop a few courageous manufacturers to propose alternatives, such as the famous N-Gage from Nokia – with the success that we know – or certain publishers to order real new games from major franchises. Like Konami with Metal Gear Solid Mobile, for example.
The first time the title was revealed was during the 20th anniversary of the Meta Gear saga and It was in 2008 that this very rare episode was released on the market, like… N-Gage, therefore. A console yet landed on the market which, in the face of commercial failure, had stopped production in 2005, three years earlier.
Suffice to say that Metal Gear Solid Mobile is a particularly rare software, even completely unknown to the general public. However, its plot is not left out and even tells a completely new story located between MGS 1 and MGS 2while Solid Snake and Otacon form a special organization, Philantropy, to try to take down Metal Gear once and for all.
The game thus takes the form of an infiltration game similar to the first Metal Gear Solid, in 3D, with components well known to fans and very industrial environments. Furthermore, it is good to remember thatit is not developed by Konami or even Hideo Kojima, but by the London studio Ideaworks3D…which closed a few years after the arrival of MGS Mobile.
The resurrection
Suffice to say that it is not easy to find a playable version of Metal Gear Solid Mobile: this is precisely the big news we are talking about today, since with the help of a valiant player named Mark Feuerborn, the title has just been taken from a Motorola V3M – an antique, some would say – and landed online on a server.
In this way, the game is finally preserved and better still, everyone can download it to play thanks to the joys of emulationas detailed in post X above.
It seems like nothing, the Metal Gear saga is starting to count a bunch of episodes: from the very first Metal Gear in 1987 to the industrial incident Metal Gear Survive in 2018, including the legendary MGS but also a bunch of spin- off like Metal Gear Acid, MGS Portable Ops, the beat them all Metal Gear Rising Revengeance and other special versions, we count casually… 23 games. And again, that’s without counting Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater coming to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series, the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater of which here are the first in-game images.
