The release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was officially revealed during Sony's State of Play 2025 presentation, confirming earlier leaks. The game launches on August 28, 2025, as previously seen on the PlayStation Store. A new trailer debuted alongside the announcement.
A surprising Ape Escape crossover was also hinted at, with a cryptic "And More" message suggesting additional collaborations are in the works. This first crossover likely references Metal Gear Solid 3's monkey minigame, 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 appears to be a remarkably faithful recreation of the original. IGN's preview described it as a "very shiny HD remaster," praising its visual fidelity but suggesting it might have benefited from a more substantial remake.
