Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Officially Confirmed

During Sony's State of Play 2025 broadcast, the highly anticipated release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was officially confirmed, aligning with last week's leak from the PlayStation Store. Fans can mark their calendars for August 28, 2025, as the game will launch alongside a captivating new trailer.

Adding to the excitement, an intriguing Ape Escape collaboration was teased during the event, accompanied by a tantalizing message that simply read "And More." This suggests that players might look forward to additional crossovers in the future. The teased collaboration appears to nod to the original Metal Gear Solid 3, which included a unique monkey minigame where Snake employed stun grenades and his 'Monkey Shaker' gun to subdue the animals.

While Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater introduces a new first-person perspective, it remains largely faithful to the original game. IGN's preview noted, "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."
