The release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was officially revealed during Sony's State of Play 2025 presentation, confirming previous leaks. A new trailer accompanied the announcement, solidifying the August 28, 2025 launch.
The PlayStation Store had prematurely leaked both the date and trailer last week. State of Play provided official confirmation.
An intriguing Ape Escape collaboration was also hinted at, with a concluding “And More” suggesting additional crossovers are planned. This first crossover appears to reference the original Metal Gear Solid 3's monkey minigame, where Snake used stun grenades and his unique “Monkey Shaker” weapon.
While featuring a new first-person perspective, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remains remarkably faithful to its source material. IGN's preview described it as a "very shiny HD remaster," praising its visual fidelity but noting its close adherence to the original, potentially at the expense of innovative reimagining.
