As Dice breaker report, after delaying the game from “early 2019” to “summer 2020” and then “2021”, IDW considered that it needed to make even more changes to the original design and that “Finally, the time required to implement these changes just increased more than we expected and our window to deliver the game on time was closed. ”
While IDW’s involvement in the game ends, it is not necessarily a curtain for the game itself. Creator Emerson Matsuuchi offered to pay IDW to pass the game over the line and on the shelves, and when they turned down the offer, he began the process of collaborating with publisher Nazca Games to get his hands on Metal Gear grants the license to Konami himself.
