Ever wonder what the brilliant minds of CD Projekt Red could do with other major gaming IPs? Well, youre in luck a Principal Concept Artist from the Cyberpunk 2077team has taken his hand at making some Metal Gear Solidinspired concept art that looks like the making of a great game. In fact, some of these concepts are so good, hopefully we will see something similar in eitherCyberpunk 2077 or a future Hideo Kojima title.<\/p>\n
The CD Projekt Red Concept Artist Furio Tedeschi shared some of these designs earlier this week on his LinkedIn page. With each one simply titled MGS Inspired Work, there isnt a ton of detail into the thought process behind the designs. With that said, these feel right out of Hideo Kojimas metaphorical sketchbook.The environments are somewhat varied. Though Tedeschi stuck with a military camouflage aesthetic for each of these characters, they all feel wildly different. While the first in the set gives off a distinct icy arctic impression, the other two draw from more modern settings with desert and a more outdoorsy print:<\/p>\n
While the visuals themselves scream neo-militaristic futurology, there is a great reference to theMetal Gear Solidseries: a patch on their uniforms that signify Outer Heaven. Its clear that Hideo Kojima is a big fan of this style even beyond the Metal Gear Solidfranchise. After parting ways (unceremoniously) with Konami, his earliest concept art of DeathStranding then titled Dead Stranding had more of a soldier aesthetic than the games final end product.<\/p>\n
This is far from the only crossover artist weve seen in 2020. A week ago we highlighted the lead artist fromGod of Warand Sony Santa Monica who was drawing different Nintendo series characters, starting with Fox fromStar Fox.<\/p>\n
Cyberpunk 2077will launch on April 16, 2020 for Google Stadia, PC, PS4, and Xbox One and you canpre-order it over on Amazon to support the site. Check out the full gallery of theMetal Gear Solidinspired art, below:<\/p>\n
