Long since the rumor of a Metal Gear remake It has been playing constantly, however, there were no reasons or great evidence to think of an imminent release of something related to the world of Metal Gear. Until today. As many users have been able to see, it seems that the official Metal Gear account on Twitter wants to tell us something.
Are we going to have a Metal Gear remake?
You just have to take a look at the official Metal Gear Twitter account to see that something strange is happening. His latest tweets are retweets from an account of someone named Tom Olsen, a New Yorker based in the Big Apple who claims to be a maintenance technician for the Big Shell decontamination platform. His virtual avatar wouldn't be much if it weren't for the fact that Big Shell, the company he works for, is a fictional Metal Gear Solid location.
Reviewing his posts a little more, we can see how it is a kind of parody account as a simulated character, where he appears in a very comical way what the life of a Big Shell worker would be like on a day-to-day basis.
Tom, we talked about this.

Let's remember that Big Shell appears in Metal Gear Solid 2, and that it is indeed 30 kilometers from the coast of Manhattan, so the supposed life of Tom Olsen would be very well documented. We can see images of the platform's control room, laboratories and many more locations, and all the photographs are nothing more than screenshots taken from the game itself.
A simple tweet as a joke?
Knowing this, we might think that the official Metal Gear account has decided to publicize Tom Olsen's account because the brand has been particularly amused by the originality of its publications, so it would simply be one more tweet with which to build a community. and seek the complicity of its users. But there are users who want to see much further. And that's where the Metal Gear Solid 2 remake theory comes into play.
Every morning, we have to log in at the security office and enter our personal info. It's kind of a hassle. Good news though, it'll be my birthday soon! pic.twitter.com/wJswL46O2T

too many suspicions
Tom Olsen's account only follows the official accounts of Metal Gear, Konami, Kojima and the New York Mets. He was created on April 8, 2021, that is, very recently, and as a super interesting note, he has indicated that his birthday is April 30, a date that we are casually approaching.
With all these details on the table, some suggest that the next April 30 We will finally know the details of the release of the Metal Gear Solid 2 remake, a new improved version of the Konami classic that could open a new era of remakes that many fans await with open arms. If you're in a hurry, you shouldn't forget that Metal Gear Solid 2 is currently available on Xbox 360 (backwards compatible on Xbox Series X and Series S), PlayStation 2, and PC, so you'll have more than one option to play the original once. once again.
