Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Official Release Date 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 were validated during the event, heightening fans' excitement.

Adding to the buzz, an *Ape Escape* collaboration was teased, hinting at nostalgic elements from the original *Metal Gear Solid 3*. This tease included a reference to the classic monkey minigame, where players used stun grenades and the 'Monkey Shaker' gun to neutralize the animals. The announcement concluded with a tantalizing message: "And More," suggesting additional crossovers may be on the horizon for the game.

While *Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater* introduces a new first-person perspective, it remains largely a faithful recreation of the original. IGN described it in their preview as "more like a very shiny HD remaster than the elegant remake it could have been." They noted that while the game offers a beautiful nostalgia trip, it's almost too faithful to the source material.
