Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Officially Confirmed

The highly anticipated 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. Fans can mark their calendars for August 28, 2025, a date that had previously leaked via the PlayStation Store along with the trailer.

Adding to the excitement, an Ape Escape collaboration was teased, hinting at more crossovers to come with a message that reads “And More.” This collaboration appears to nod to the original *Metal Gear Solid 3*, which included a memorable monkey minigame where Snake used stun grenades and his ‘Monkey Shaker’ gun to neutralize the animals.

*Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater* introduces a new first-person perspective, but remains a faithful recreation of the original. IGN's preview noted, "*Metal Gear Solid Delta seems more like a very shiny HD remaster than the elegant remake it could have been.*" While it delivers a beautifully nostalgic experience, some feel it might be too faithful to the source material.
