Konami’s Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Potentially Leaked
Fans of the Metal Gear Solid franchise may finally have a release date for Konami’s highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. In an accidental leak on the PlayStation Store, Sony may have revealed that the game is set to launch on August 28, 2025.
While the release date has not been officially confirmed by Konami, the update to the game’s digital storefront included a new cinematic trailer that hinted at the summer launch. The leak only appeared in certain regions, with North America still listing the release year as “2025.”
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was originally announced in May 2023, and fans have been eagerly awaiting its release since then. The game marks a return to one of gaming’s most beloved franchises and follows the success of Konami’s recent remake of Silent Hill 2.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, the original game released in 2004 for the PlayStation 2, is a prequel set 31 years before the first Metal Gear game. The story follows CIA agent Naked Snake, who later becomes known as Big Boss, the mentor and antagonist of the early Metal Gear games.
The remake of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater promises updated visuals and gameplay while staying true to the original game’s essence. The trailer released with the leak showcases the game’s overhauled visuals and hints at the return of characters from the Ape Escape franchise.
Despite creator Hideo Kojima not being involved in the remake, Metal Gear Solid Delta aims to recreate his vision faithfully. The game introduces new features like a battle damage system and modern controls while retaining the eccentricities that made the original game stand out.
Overall, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater looks to offer both longtime fans and new players a fresh perspective on the iconic franchise. While Konami has yet to officially confirm the release date, the leaked information suggests that fans may finally get their hands on the game in 2025. Stay tuned for more updates as the official announcement is expected to come soon.
