Metal Gear Solid series veterans – Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater director Yuji Korekado, and series producer Noriaki Okamura – felt pressure to create the third entry's remake for new fans while its original staff gets older.

In an interview with Real Sound translated by GamesRadar+, Korekado discusses the difficulties of creating a game for "modern players" while also pleasing long-time fans and staying true to series creator's Hideo Kojima's vision, given that he no longer works at Konami.
