After much anticipation, Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater finally has a confirmed release date. The highly awaited remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 is set to launch on August 28, 2025, bringing a fresh Unreal Engine 5 take on the legendary stealth-action classic.
A Surprise Reveal
Fans got an unexpected glimpse of the release date when a trailer appeared on PlayStation Network with no official announcement. While the trailer prominently features the PS5 logo, it’s likely that the game will also arrive on other platforms, including PC.
Originally suggested for a 2024 release, the game’s launch now falls a full year after early hands-on gameplay demos. However, considering the scale of this remake, the additional development time isn’t too surprising.
A Faithful Remake with a Few Surprises
The latest trailer showcases some of Metal Gear Solid 3’s most iconic moments, from intense CQC battles between Snake and The Boss to high-speed chases and unforgettable confrontations with legendary foes.
One intriguing addition is a post-credits teaser featuring a mischievous monkey disappearing into the jungle seemingly hinting at the return of Snake vs Monkey, a beloved mode from the original PS2 version that was absent in later releases.
Is This the Definitive MGS3 Experience?
With the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 already offering an HD edition of Snake Eater, some fans may wonder if a full remake is necessary. However, for those eager to experience Metal Gear Solid 3 with modern visuals and updated mechanics, this could be the definitive way to revisit the legendary story.
Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater looks set to deliver a faithful, shot-for-shot recreation of the classic, with just enough modern gameplay refinements to welcome a new generation of players.
Stay tuned for more updates as the release date approaches!
