Report: Konami Will Be at E3, Possibly With MGS3 Remake & New Castlevania
Konami was said to be reviving its big three franchises —,, and — but it has only officially announced that it is bringing back the spookiest one of the trio. However, a recent report has now stated that those other two revivals will make a big splash around E3.
According to Video Games Chronicle’s new podcast (around 11 minutes in), Konami is slated to have a sizeable E3 presence because the company will likely show the rumored remake and a new (and probably at least some of its many games).
“Konami is going to have a pretty big E3 from my understanding,” said Editor in Chief Andy Robinson. “It’s been brewing for a while, but I believe this E3 is going to be when you’re going to start to see more of that. […] I’m pretty sure they’ll have an E3 booth, and they’ll probably hold a lot of this stuff at a platform holder media event.”
He then went on to speculate that it could be at whatever PlayStation does (which wouldn’t technically be a part of E3), given the relationship Konami has had with Sony in the past and present, as the remake is a PlayStation 5 console exclusive. Robinson also stated that he understood that the game is the furthest along and that he expects the remake to be there and didn’t go into more detail.
Robinson, who originally reported about the franchise revivals in 2021, then brought up another part of that report: the remasters. He said Konami had made the plans to re-release these older games a few years ago (although it wasn’t clear exactly which ones), but wasn’t sure if that was still the case and understood that there was internal debate within the company about how to go about it. Robinson also speculated that the remake was going to act as a test for these ports.
