Yesterday, pictures from a recording session with popular singer Donna Burke sparked rumors, quickly debunked, about a Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake. Today, composer Mason Lieberman provided more details.
After several fans and several media outlets started amplifying the rumor, and speculation about the remake, Lieberman himself clarified yesterday that the recording session was unrelated to the beloved Metal Gear Solid game. Today, he took to Twitter again to provide more details.
We hear that the recording is for a special music album for video game lovers and "lots of amazing guests" will be announced down the line. Lieberman mentioned his collaborations with Cowboy Bebop and My Hero Academia to provide a hint as to what we can expect. He also added that the project is currently in post-production.Â
If you’re familiar with my collaborations with Cowboy Bebop or My Hero Academia, you probably can figure out roughly what I’m going to be doing with a lot of video game music we all love. We’re in post-production now!

As a bonus, looks like Lieberman is taking the whole situation with a healthy dose of humor.
Bad news, Metal Gear Solid fans. You found me out. It really was #MetalGearSolid3Remake with @TheDonnaBurke, but your expert detective work has forced me to pivot in a new direction for the soundtrack. @Crush40Johnny, thank god you were available on such short notice; HELP! pic.twitter.com/JLkYPkzey6

So there you have it, straight from the lion's mouth. While the internet is, as usual, crowded with rumors and insiders, if Konami ever decides to create a Metal Gear Solid 3Â remake, it's very unlikely that we'll find out about it from pictures of a recording session tweeted by a professional artist. That kind of project is usually under strict NDA until it's officially announced by the publisher itself.Â
