Metal Gear Solid: An English boy receives the Venom Snake prosthesis

Love for a historical series like Metal Gear Solid also makes itself felt many years after its conclusion, which took place in the now distant 2015 with the fifth chapter and the subsequent removal of Hideo Kojima from Konami. Many fans and fans of the series are clamoring for a return of the series, perhaps with the much rumored remake of the first historical chapter of the series released way back in 1998 on the first PlayStation. For now we have no confirmation on this project, but at least the Japanese software house does not seem to have forgotten its most renowned brand: in the last few days, in fact, Konami has revealed that it has collaborated with Open Bionics, an award-winning prosthetic company, to create a new multi-grip bionic arm of the "Hero Arm" series entirely inspired by the design of that of Venom snake, protagonist of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

The first prototype of this new model was delivered to the XNUMX year old Brit Daniel Melville, without his right hand since birth, who has been using a Hero Arm bionic arm for three years and said “It's amazing, I've always wanted a bionic arm like this. I love video games and Metal Gear Solid, wearing Snake's arm in real life is simply extraordinary “. The metal covers in red and black very faithfully reproduce the shapes of the prosthesis worn by Venom Snake, who also lost his left arm following an accident.

The Bionic Arm Hero Arm is a product of the highest robotic engineering, sold at an affordable price, which is improving the lives of hundreds of people with no upper limbs. Open Bionics is based in Bristol and uses 3D printing and 3D scanning to custom produce each Hero Arm, which can be customized with appropriate magnetic covers. Metal Gear Solid's “Venom Snake” covers are now available.

Takayuki KuboKonami's current president said he was thrilled to see Venom Snake's iconic bionic limb design come to life in the real world in a technology product that is improving the quality of life for those who have lost their upper limbs. Following this splendid collaboration also intervened Samantha Payne, co-founder of Open Bionics, who was very happy with the success of this project, also because the Venom Snake arm design has always been one of the most requested by Hero Arm users and is happy to see this piece of art and engineering have a positive impact on the lives of many people.
