Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Official Release Date 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. Mark your calendars for August 28, 2025, a date that had previously leaked through the PlayStation Store, along with the trailer itself.

Adding to the excitement, an Ape Escape collaboration was teased, hinting at a fun nod to the original *Metal Gear Solid 3*. This game famously included a monkey minigame where Snake used stun grenades and the 'Monkey Shaker' gun to neutralize the animals. The tease was accompanied by a message that reads "And More," suggesting that fans can look forward to additional crossovers in the future.

*Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater* introduces a new first-person perspective while remaining a faithful recreation of the original. 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." This suggests that while the game maintains its core elements, it might not push the boundaries as much as some fans hoped.
