Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Officially Confirmed

The much-anticipated release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was officially confirmed during Sony's State of Play 2025 broadcast, where a new trailer also debuted. Fans can mark their calendars for August 28, 2025, a date that had previously leaked through the PlayStation Store alongside the trailer. Both the date and the trailer were verified during the event, adding to the excitement surrounding this iconic game's remake.

In an intriguing twist, an Ape Escape collaboration was teased, followed by the message "And More," hinting at additional crossovers on the horizon. This nod to the original Metal Gear Solid 3 seems to reference the beloved monkey minigame where Snake used stun grenades and his 'Monkey Shaker' gun to neutralize the animals, suggesting a fun throwback for long-time fans.

While Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater introduces a new first-person perspective, it remains a faithful recreation of the original, 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," IGN noted, describing it as a "beautiful nostalgia trip, but almost faithful to a fault." This suggests that while the game retains its core essence, it might not offer the transformative experience some fans were hoping for.
