Hilarious Mod Lets You Play as Hideo Kojima in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

Fans Bring Kojima to the Jungle

Within days of the game’s early access release, a creative fan developed a mod that replaces the main character with legendary Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima. Using Kojima’s model from Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, the mod playfully lets you embody the series’ architect himself.

A Rushed, Yet Entertaining, Proof of Concept

The modder admits it’s a hurried prototype—animations glitch, lighting is off, and facial expressions don’t quite align. But the fun lies in seeing Kojima suited up in various iconic outfits, from the Militaires Sans Frontières sneaking suit to a crocodile costume from the deluxe edition. It’s flawed, but charming—and a humorous nod to the fact that Kojima has stated he won’t be playing the remake himself.

A Showcase of Fan Passion

This mod isn’t polished, but that’s part of its appeal. It highlights the creativity and quick turnaround of the Metal Gear fan community. In the absence of Kojima’s direct involvement, players are taking matters into their own hands—literally inserting his likeness into the game.

Final Thought

Nothing embodies fan culture quite like this mod: with uncanny humor and creative flair, it turns a high-profile remake into a playground for playful experimentation. Even as fans await new entries in the franchise, this small gesture shows just how much the Metal Gear community cherishes both the game—and the legacy of Hideo Kojima.
