As anticipated, the release date for *Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater* was officially unveiled during Sony's State of Play 2025 broadcast, accompanied by an exciting new trailer. Mark your calendars for August 28, 2025, a date that had previously leaked via the PlayStation Store, along with the trailer that was also confirmed during the event.
Adding to the excitement, an intriguing collaboration with *Ape Escape* was teased, hinting at the return of the beloved monkey minigame from the original *Metal Gear Solid 3*. In the classic game, Snake would use stun grenades and his 'Monkey Shaker' gun to neutralize these playful creatures. The tease concluded with the tantalizing message "And More," suggesting that additional crossovers might be on the horizon for this highly anticipated title.
*Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater* introduces a new first-person perspective, yet remains a faithful recreation of the original game. According to IGN's preview, "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."
