20 years later, Metal Gear Solid 3 Delta is bringing all that back with a full Unreal Engine 5 remake. Konami keeps the original game’s story and mechanics intact but upgrades everything visually and makes some modern quality-of-life tweaks.

The single-player tactical stealth action game comes in two game editions: Standard and Digital Deluxe editions.

Snake Eater is the first major Metal Gear to be released since 2015. And yes, while the original Metal Gear Solid 3 is over twenty yea

The Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater release trailer was launched on February 13, giving players a glimpse at a mode included in the game: the Snake vs. Monkey minigame. Along with the Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater release date, slated for August 28, the trailer also confirmed the presence of many iconic bosses from the original game.

The release date was listed as August 28th on the game's PlayStation page. It has since been taken down and replaced with the vague "2025" but it still appears at the end of a trailer that leaked alongside the date. You can watch it by inspecting this mossy URL that looks a bit too human-shaped.

The trailer ends with a really quite upsetting depiction an Ape Escape monkey slapping its butt. From this we can assume, as Eurogamer did for me, that this indicates the return of the Snake vs Monkey minigame, for completion’s sake.

As expected, the Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater release date was confirmed during Sony’s State of Play 2025 broadcast alongside a new trailer. The August 28, 2025 release date leaked last week via the PlayStation Store, which also made a new trailer available. Both were confirmed officially during State of Play.

The PlayStation store has accidentally revealed the PS5 release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater early.
