Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater release date, trailer, and platforms, confirmed

After two decades following its original release, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be a trip down memory lane for every hardcore fan of the franchise.

Thanks to a leaked trailer doing the rounds on social media for the last 24 hours, we know when the game will launch. The trailer also lists the platforms where the game is going to be available. Unless there are any unprecedented delays at the ends of the developers, the wait won’t be long.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater release date

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will release globally on August 28, 2025. This was first revealed by the leaked trailer, which appears to be from the PSN Store’s backend. So far, we haven’t had any official idea about the date, although it was known that the remake would be available in 2025.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater trailer explained

The nearly two-minute-long trailer is the first peek at how the technology has changed over the last two decades. While the main plot will be the same, the remake will have significantly better graphics for starters. This is obvious as the project was built on Unreal Engine 5 instead of Konami’s proprietary FOX Engine.

Expect significant changes in how some fundamental movement mechanics work inside the game. For example, Snake can now crouch-walk, and you’ll be able to aim more precisely. These changes will certainly take away some of the more janky mechanics in the original version.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater platforms

Unless you’re on an old-gen console, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be available at launch. The game will be available on the PS5, the Xbox Series X|S consoles and PC via Steam).

So far, we have no idea whether the game will be available on the Nintendo Switch 2, but that will largely depend on when the console becomes available worldwide.

If you want to play early, the Deluxe Edition will provide that opportunity. The edition will have up to three days of early access for those willing to pay extra. Currently, the Steam page is up, but much information is yet to be disclosed.

It will be interesting to learn more about the upcoming launch and if Konami will showcase more features and gameplay videos to the audience in the coming months.
