Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Officially Confirmed

As anticipated, the release date for *Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater* was officially confirmed during Sony's State of Play 2025 broadcast, accompanied by an exciting new trailer. The game is set to launch on August 28, 2025, a date that had previously leaked through the PlayStation Store along with the trailer. Both the date and the trailer were officially validated during the event.

Adding to the excitement, an Ape Escape collaboration was teased, hinting at a nostalgic nod to the original *Metal Gear Solid 3*. This collaboration seems to reference the game's iconic monkey minigame, where players control Snake as he uses stun grenades and the 'Monkey Shaker' gun to neutralize the animals. The teaser concluded with a message stating "And More," suggesting that additional crossovers might be on the horizon for *Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater*.

While *Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater* introduces a new first-person perspective, it remains largely faithful to the original game. According to IGN's 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." This suggests that fans can expect a visually enhanced yet familiar experience.
