Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Finally Confirmed — Officially This Time

As anticipated, the release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was officially confirmed during Sony’s State of Play 2025 broadcast, along with the unveiling of an exciting new trailer. Mark your calendars for August 28, 2025, a date that was previously leaked through the PlayStation Store, which also made the trailer available ahead of the official announcement.

Adding to the excitement, an Ape Escape collaboration was teased, hinting at a nostalgic nod to the original Metal Gear Solid 3, which included a memorable monkey minigame. Players will recall Snake using stun grenades and his 'Monkey Shaker' gun to neutralize the playful primates. The teaser concluded with a tantalizing message, "And More," suggesting additional crossovers may be on the horizon.

While Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater introduces a new first-person perspective, it remains largely faithful to the original game. 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. It’s an admittedly beautiful nostalgia trip, but almost faithful to a fault."
