Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater's release date is officially confirmed! Sony's State of Play 2025 showcase revealed the game will launch on August 28, 2025, alongside a new trailer. This confirms the leak from last week via the PlayStation Store.
A surprising Ape Escape crossover was also hinted at, with the tagline "And More" suggesting additional collaborations are planned. This first crossover appears to reference the monkey minigame from the original Metal Gear Solid 3.
While boasting a new first-person viewpoint, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remains largely faithful to its predecessor. IGN's preview described it as a "very shiny HD remaster," praising its visual fidelity but noting a potential missed opportunity for a more substantial remake. The game appears to prioritize a nostalgic experience above significant gameplay alterations.
