The release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was officially revealed during Sony's State of Play 2025 presentation, confirming the August 28, 2025 launch, as previously leaked. A new trailer accompanied the announcement.
A surprising Ape Escape collaboration was also hinted at, with a cryptic “And More” message suggesting additional crossovers are planned. This initial crossover appears to be a nod to the monkey minigame in the original Metal Gear Solid 3, where Snake used stun grenades and his unique weapon to subdue primates.
While boasting a new first-person viewpoint, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remains remarkably faithful to its predecessor. IGN's preview described it as a "very shiny HD remaster" rather than a full-fledged remake, praising its visual fidelity but noting its close adherence to the original might be a drawback for some.
