According to a new report, Konami is looking to revive three of its major franchises – Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, and Silent Hill – with help from external developers. These would include a "reimagining" of Castlevania series and a Metal Gear Solid 3 remake.
This is all according to a report by specifically not denying that it was working on a Silent Hill title.
However, it's the other two franchises that are more interesting. VGC's sources report a "reimagining" of Castlevania is on the way from Konami itself, with from local Japanese studios. The Lords of Shadow 2, was way back in 2014.
Possibly the most exciting project rumoured is a remake of arguably the best Metal Gear game, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater – along with remasters of the previous games, which appeared on GOG last year. MGS3 is the focus, apparently, and according to writer Andy Robinson is in "early development" at studio Virtuos.
Update: I've been told the studio behind the MGS project is Virtuous, who recently ported Dark Souls and The Outer Worlds to Switch, and contributed to blockbusters such as Battlefield 1 and Horizon Zero Dawn.

Until announced everything here should be considered rumours, but more Castlevania, Silent Hill, and Metal Gear games would be a great thing. Konami can't rest on releasing the worst-reviewed game on Steam, after all.
