Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Officially Confirmed

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has finally solidified its place in the gaming calendar with an official August 28, 2025 release date, as confirmed during Sony’s State of Play 2025 event. This news was initially leaked earlier last week through the PlayStation Store, where a new trailer also surfaced. Both the release date and the trailer were later verified during the broadcast.

In addition to the announcement, a teaser for an Ape Escape crossover was revealed, with a cryptic message reading "And More," hinting at potential future collaborations. The first crossover appears to draw inspiration from the original Metal Gear Solid 3, featuring a memorable minigame where players must neutralize monkeys using stun grenades and Snake’s signature 'Monkey Shaker' gun.

Visually, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater introduces a first-person perspective, offering fans a fresh take while staying largely faithful to the original. As IGN noted in their preview, the game leans heavily toward being a polished HD remaster rather than a complete overhaul, yet it remains a visually stunning homage to its predecessor.
