Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Finally Confirmed — Officially This Time

Mar 18,25

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater's release date was officially confirmed during Sony's State of Play 2025 presentation, alongside a new trailer. The August 28, 2025 release date, which leaked earlier via the PlayStation Store along with the trailer, is now official.

An intriguing Ape Escape collaboration was also teased, with a cryptic "And More" message hinting at further crossovers to come. This first crossover appears to reference the original Metal Gear Solid 3's monkey minigame, where Snake used stun grenades and his "Monkey Shaker" gun to subdue the primates.

While boasting a new first-person perspective, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater largely appears to be a faithful recreation of the original. As IGN noted in its preview, "Metal Gear Solid Delta seems more like a very shiny HD remaster than the elegant remake it could have been. It’s an admittedly beautiful nostalgia trip, but almost faithful to a fault."
