The release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was officially revealed during Sony's State of Play 2025 presentation, confirming earlier leaks. A new trailer accompanied the announcement, solidifying the August 28, 2025 launch.
The PlayStation Store previously leaked both the date and trailer, giving fans a sneak peek.
An exciting Ape Escape crossover was also hinted at, with a cryptic "And More" message suggesting additional collaborations are in store. This initial crossover seems to reference the monkey minigame from the original Metal Gear Solid 3, where Snake used stun grenades and his unique "Monkey Shaker" weapon.
While boasting a new first-person perspective, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater appears to be a remarkably faithful recreation of its predecessor. IGN's preview described it as a "very shiny HD remaster," praising its visual fidelity but noting its close adherence to the original might be considered a limitation.
