The release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was officially unveiled during Sony's State of Play 2025 presentation, confirming previous leaks. A new trailer accompanied the announcement, solidifying the August 28, 2025 launch. This follows a PlayStation Store leak that prematurely revealed both the date and trailer.
An intriguing Ape Escape crossover was also hinted at, with a cryptic "And More" message suggesting further collaborations are in the works. This initial crossover appears to be a nod to the monkey minigame in the original Metal Gear Solid 3, where Snake used stun grenades and his unique "Monkey Shaker" weapon.
While boasting a fresh first-person viewpoint, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater largely remains a faithful recreation of its predecessor. IGN's preview described it as a "very shiny HD remaster" rather than a substantial remake, praising its visual fidelity but noting its close adherence to the original might be considered a drawback for some.
