Metal Gear Solid fans, the wait may soon be over! Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the long-awaited remake of the PlayStation 2 classic and third main installment in the Metal Gear Solid series, has recently been officially announced. This game is widely regarded by many fans and critics as one of the best in the series. Despite initial skepticism due to the departure of series creator Hideo Kojima from Konami, the company seems to have great confidence in this project. Here's everything we know so far about Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.
Release Window
An exact release date for the remake is still pending, but Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was showcased in an official Sony video announcing releases for 2024. If there are no delays, we could have the remake in our hands later this year.
Platforms
The game is currently confirmed for all current console generations, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam.
Developers
After Kojima left Konami and is now working on Death Stranding 2 and OD, the development of this remake has been entrusted to another studio. Konami has announced that in addition to the internal development team, Virtuos, a company that has already contributed to previous Metal Gear games, is involved in the development.
Trailer
The reveal trailer exclusively showcases cinematics and no gameplay scenes. It focuses on the jungle aspect of the original Metal Gear Solid 3, following a bird through the jungle and providing insights into the natural food chain. Only in the final shot, Snake appears, camouflaged in the shadows.
Gameplay
Although no gameplay was shown in the trailer, Konami mentioned that the game will include "all original voice actors, storylines, and survival combat features, but in an enhanced and evolved form." This suggests that the remake will not be mechanically faithful to the original, but will introduce more modern mechanics and controls. Apart from the explanation about improved and updated survival combat, nothing else is known about the gameplay itself.
Pre-Order
Since no release window has been set for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, pre-orders are not yet available. Stay tuned for more information.
What's Next?
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater promises to be an exciting remake that could captivate both old and new fans. With the involvement of Virtuos and a focus on modernized gameplay mechanics, this game could mark an impressive comeback for the beloved series. For fans of the franchise and new players alike, this could be an exciting opportunity to experience a revamped version of a legendary game.
