Summary
Insiders are claiming that new information aboutMetal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the upcoming remake of 2004’s classicMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, could be coming later this week. Konami announced that an updated version ofMetal Gear Solid 3was in the works during a PlayStation State of Play livestream last May with a brief teaser trailer of Naked Snake (aka Big Boss) sneaking through a dark jungle during the Cold War.Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eateris being developed for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S using Unreal Engine 5, but many other details have been kept under wraps.
That includes an exact release date forMetal Solid Delta: Snake Eater. While the game was included in PlayStation’s “Upcoming Games in 2024” trailer at the beginning of the year, later reports suggested thatMetal Gear Solid Deltacould instead launch in 2025. This was pointed out by reliable gaming news leaker Billbil-kun, who shared reports of a global distribution firm using a placeholder release date of “28-06-2025” for the game’s physical copies.
Fellow Twitter user Kuwabara357 took note of another claim from Billbil-kun, one that suggests that more information aboutMetal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eatercould be coming later this week. To be more specific, Billbil-kun states that this information will be released on June 6, perhaps an official confirmation ofMetal Gear Solid Delta’s release dateand the start of its pre-order period. Another gaming leaker by the handle of Lunatic Ignus seems to agree with this, telling Kuwabara357 and others to “trust billbil-kun on this one” and keep their eyes peeled over the next few days.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Could Get Update On June 6
Furthermore, Kuwabara357 still thinks thatMetal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eaterwill still be released in 2024, despite Billbil-kun’s claims that it is being delayed until next year. The same reports that spoke of this delay also hinted that the game will have two different editions, a Standard Edition worth 69.99 USD and a Collector’s Edition that would reportedly cost 199.99 USD. Kuwabara357 feels that releasing this information when the game in question won’t be out for over six months is odd, as is Billbil-kun’s mention of pre-orders forMetal Gear Solid Deltagoing live later this week.
If these rumors are correct, a newMetal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eaterupdate could come on June 6,just a day before this year’s Summer Game Fest. Fans are already eager to replay the first chronological entry in the blockbusterMetal Gearseries as rendered with modern hardware, and any new info aboutMetal Gear Solid Delta(such as a new trailer or official release date) could help make the long wait for Naked Snake’s return from the shadows a little easier.
