The development journey faced numerous challenges, which are thoroughly discussed in a detailed making-of document. While not every issue could be resolved, the developer opted to release the mod in a semi-functional state.

The Future of the Metal Gear Solid Series
Despite being the concluding entry directed by Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is not the end of the series. In October 2023, Konami launched the Master Collection Vol.1, comprising the first three 3D installments and the original 2D classics. A follow-up collection is anticipated, which may end the PlayStation 3 exclusivity on Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
Additionally, fans can look forward to the upcoming release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater this month. This remake, developed by Virtuos in Unreal Engine 5, aims to elevate the beloved game while preserving its iconic stealth gameplay, reminding us why it remains a standout entry in the series.
