The composer ofHogwarts Legacy’s score shared a video clip on Instagram that appears to be teasing something to do with aMetal Gear Solid-related project, but it may not be the project fans have been eagerly anticipating. TheMetal Gear Solidseries has been mostly dormant in recent years, with the only exception being 2018’sMetal Gear Survive, the first and onlyMetal Geargame released by Konami after Kojima’s departure.
J. Scott Rakozycomposed the score forHogwarts Legacy, an open-world game set in the Wizarding World universe created by J.K. Rowling. Game critics laudedHogwarts Legacy’smusical score, saying it captured the wonder and magic of the original score from the films, the first three of which were composed by film legend John Williams.

Rakozy posted a short video of a rearrangement of theMetal Gear Solidtheme as an Instagram Story. This caught the attention ofMetal Gear Solidfans who immediately began theorizing that Rakozy was perhaps teasing the release of the long-rumored remakes of theMetal Gear Solidgames. Such rumors have swirled for months. Some claim Konami is remaking the first 3D entry in the series, the classicMetal Gear Solid, first released for the original PlayStation in 1998. Others claimit’s a remake ofMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Neither rumor has thus far been confirmed.
What may be closer to the truth, as theorized by PCGamesN, is that Rakozy may be composing a version of theMetal Geartheme for an upcoming album featuring covers and rearrangements of all-time great video game music. PCGamesN did some investigating and reminded fans that singer Donna Burkerecently re-recorded her classic theme fromMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. That, coupled with the ongoing speculation of aMetal Gear Solidremake, led some to believe the rumors of a remake were true. It now seems more likely that Rakozy is also composing music for the album.
Rakozy has a long history of using his social media channels to post music inspired by theMetal Gear Solidthemes originally composed by Harry Gregson-Williams. Rakozy has been postingMetal Gear-inspired tracks to his YouTube channel as far back as 2011. The rearrangement of theMetal Gear Solidtheme he posted to his Instagram Stories could very well be a sample froman upcomingMetal Gear Solidremake, or maybe a snippet from the aforementioned album. But it could just as easily be a composer experimenting with some personal projects. Only time will tell.
