During Sony's State of Play 2025 broadcast, fans of the Metal Gear series were thrilled to see the release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater officially confirmed. Set to launch on August 28, 2025, this announcement came alongside a captivating new trailer, validating last week's leak from the PlayStation Store.
In an exciting twist, the event also teased an upcoming collaboration with Ape Escape, hinting at more crossovers on the horizon with a tantalizing "And More" message. This nod to the original Metal Gear Solid 3's monkey minigame—where Snake used stun grenades and his 'Monkey Shaker' gun—suggests a delightful blend of nostalgia and innovation.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater introduces a new first-person perspective but otherwise remains a faithful recreation of the classic game. IGN's preview described it as "more like a very shiny HD remaster than the elegant remake it could have been," praising its beauty while noting its almost faultless adherence to the original. It's shaping up to be a visually stunning nostalgia trip for fans.
