After years of delays, the Metal Gear Solid board game has been cancelled
After being announced in 2018, shown off in 2019, and facing two delays--one into 2020, and most recently into 2021--Metal Gear Solid: The Board Game has officially been cancelled. The tabletop game. which was set to be published by IDW was quietly abandoned back in December, with the company making the decision after numerous delays. Despite that fact, the board game's creator, Emerson Matsuuchi is still trying to find a way to get it finalized and released, after securing the rights to his design. However, now that the project is out of IDW's hands, the Metal Gear license that had been granted by Konami is no longer valid. The creator is confident in his abilities to reach out to Konami and obtain the rights once more to create a tabletop game based upon the Metal Gear Solid franchise, but for the time being, the game will not be releasing.
