Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a highly anticipated remake of the classic 2004 stealth game, originally announced in May 2023.
A new trailer has been released on the PS5 variant of the PlayStation Store, confirming the return of the iconic Snake Versus Apes mode from the original game.
The trailer features gameplay footage and hints at an Ape Escape crossover mode, showcasing an ape shaking its backside before running off.
Notably, the remake is being developed without series creator Hideo Kojima, who is currently focused on other projects.
Recent leaks suggest that the release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta has been confirmed by the PlayStation Store, although Konami has yet to officially announce it.
Eurogamer verified the release date by checking the PSN Store, which was also supported by the PlayStation mobile app.
Developed using Unreal Engine 5, the remake promises updated visuals and a complete aesthetic overhaul while retaining the original's core gameplay.
Series producer Noriaki Okamura emphasized the importance of this remake for introducing the franchise to younger audiences unfamiliar with characters like Solid Snake.
IGN previewed the game, describing it as more of an HD remaster than a full remake, highlighting its nostalgia while adhering closely to the original design.
