As anticipated, the release date for *Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater* was officially confirmed during Sony's State of Play 2025 broadcast, accompanied by an exciting new trailer. Fans can mark their calendars for August 28, 2025, a date that had previously leaked via the PlayStation Store along with the trailer.

During the event, an intriguing Ape Escape collaboration was teased, hinting at more crossovers to come. This nod to the original *Metal Gear Solid 3*—which included a memorable monkey minigame where Snake used stun grenades and his 'Monkey Shaker' gun to neutralize the creatures—has fans buzzing with excitement about what other surprises might be in store.

*Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater* introduces a new first-person perspective, but otherwise aims to be a faithful recreation of the classic. In our preview, IGN remarked, "*Metal Gear Solid Delta seems more like a very shiny HD remaster than the elegant remake it could have been.* It's an admittedly beautiful nostalgia trip, but almost faithful to a fault."
