Fan remake of Metal Gear Solid in progress

Titled “Shadow Moses,” the HD remake will use the Unreal 4 engine and is currently in the early production stages. A trailer was posted showing off their efforts yesterday.

Note this is a remake being created outside of Konami, spearheaded by the group of fans. The developer’s Facebook page stated this today:

We just need to clarify something:

Konami owns the MGS copyright and therefore sooner or later
we will need their full permission.

We have therefore chosen to openly share this project from the beginning so that we can deal with any issues that may arise as they come.
We believe this is better than putting years of work into a project only
to get it shut down.

Like most fan created projects using properties owned by major corporations in the video game industry, this will probably not see a full production or be legally released.
