Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be released on August 28 and has already become a turning point for the saga. More than just a remake, it serves as the first step toward the franchise's future without Hideo Kojima.
Producers Noriaki Okamura and Yuji Korekado stated in an interview with Rolling Stone that Delta can serve as training for new developers.

Why did Konami choose a remake instead of a new game?
Okamura was clear: the decision was made after seeing that new generations of players were unfamiliar with Metal Gear. The remake allows newcomers to start from the first part in the chronology and then move forward with titles like the Master Collection Vol. 1.
