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, showcasing the game's August 28, 2025 launch.
The PlayStation Store had prematurely leaked both the date and trailer the previous week. State of Play provided official confirmation.
An intriguing Ape Escape collaboration was also hinted at, with a cryptic "And More" message suggesting additional crossovers are planned. This initial crossover appears to reference the monkey minigame from the original Metal Gear Solid 3, where Snake used stun grenades and his "Monkey Shaker" to subdue primates.
While boasting a new first-person viewpoint, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remains largely a faithful recreation of its predecessor. IGN's preview described it as "a very shiny HD remaster," praising its visual fidelity but noting its almost unwavering adherence to the original, potentially at the expense of innovative reimagining.
