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 event, accompanied by an exciting new trailer. The game is set to launch on August 28, 2025, which aligns with a leak from the PlayStation Store just last week. This leak also included the trailer, which was officially validated during the State of Play broadcast.

Adding to the excitement, an Ape Escape collaboration was teased, hinting at a nostalgic nod to the original *Metal Gear Solid 3*. This collaboration could involve a similar monkey-themed minigame where players use stun grenades and a ‘Monkey Shaker’ gun, reminiscent of the classic gameplay. The teaser concluded with a cryptic message stating "And More," suggesting that 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 title. As IGN noted in their 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." This suggests that fans can expect a visually enhanced experience that stays true to the core elements of the original game.
