[Video] Fan Shows off Clip of Their Remade Intro for ‘Metal Gear Solid 2’ in Unreal Engine 5
While we wait for Konami to follow through on those rumoured remakes/remasters of the first three entries in the Metal Gear Solid series, one fan decided to give a glimpse into a “What if?” scenario with Metal Gear Solid 2‘s iconic intro cinematic redone in Unreal Engine 5.
Erasmus Brosdau, art director for Crysis, Ryse and Star Citizen, took to Twitter recently to show off preliminary work on recreating the intro cinematic in real-time. It’s only five second, but it’s far better than what anyone could have imagined in 2001. Hideo Kojima himself even retweeted the work, so it has his thumbs up!
This isn’t the first time Erasmus has dabbled in remaking a cutscene, as he also remade the original intro for Metal Gear Solid back in 2018.
Meanwhile, we’re waiting on updates regarding director Jordan Vogt-Roberts‘ (Kong: Skull Island) film adaptation of Metal Gear Solid, which had begun casting back in 2020 with Oscar Isaac taking on the role of Solid Snake. Of course, Isaac is busy playing Moon Knight at the moment, so here’s hoping we hear more about the project this year.

If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
