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

The release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was officially revealed during Sony's State of Play 2025 presentation, confirming previous leaks. A new trailer accompanied the announcement, solidifying the August 28, 2025 launch.

The PlayStation Store had prematurely leaked both the date and trailer earlier in the week. State of Play provided the official confirmation.

Intriguingly, the presentation also hinted at an Ape Escape crossover, with a concluding "And More" suggesting additional collaborations are planned. This initial crossover seems to reference the monkey minigame from the original Metal Gear Solid 3, where Snake used stun grenades and his unique "Monkey Shaker" weapon.

While boasting a new first-person viewpoint, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater appears to be a highly polished recreation of its predecessor. IGN's preview described it as "a very shiny HD remaster," praising its visual fidelity but noting its almost unwavering faithfulness to the original might be a limitation.
