The release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was officially confirmed during Sony's State of Play 2025 presentation, alongside a new trailer. The August 28, 2025 release date, which leaked last week via the PlayStation Store along with an early trailer release, was officially validated.
An exciting Ape Escape collaboration was also teased, with a cryptic "And More" message hinting at further crossovers in the future. This first crossover seems to reference the original Metal Gear Solid 3's monkey minigame, where Snake used stun grenades and his unique "Monkey Shaker" gun to subdue the primates.
While boasting a new first-person perspective, *Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater* appears to be a remarkably faithful recreation of the original. As IGN noted in its 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."For a comprehensive overview of all the announcements from State of Play 2025, and a glimpse into the PlayStation 5's future, be sure to check out IGN's complete roundup.
