The highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater release date was officially revealed during Sony's State of Play 2025 presentation, accompanied by a new trailer.
The August 28, 2025 launch date, which had leaked previously via the PlayStation Store alongside the trailer, received official confirmation during the State of Play broadcast.
An exciting Ape Escape crossover was also hinted at, with a concluding "And More" message suggesting additional collaborations are in store for the game. This initial crossover seems to be a nod to the original Metal Gear Solid 3's monkey minigame, where Snake used stun grenades and his unique "Monkey Shaker" weapon.
While boasting a fresh first-person perspective, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater appears to be a remarkably faithful recreation of its predecessor. As noted in IGN's preview, the game feels more like a polished HD remaster than a fully reimagined remake, offering a visually stunning but intensely nostalgic experience.
