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

Author : Nathan Mar 17,2025

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

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

PlayWhile boasting a new first-person perspective, *Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater* appears to be a remarkably faithful recreation of the original game. 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."
