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 a brand-new trailer. The August 28, 2025, release date had previously surfaced on the PlayStation Store last week, along with the unveiling of the same trailer. Both details were validated during the event.
During the presentation, an Ape Escape crossover was hinted at, followed by a cryptic message reading “And More,” suggesting additional collaborations are in store for the game.
This initial teaser appears to draw inspiration from the original Metal Gear Solid 3, which included a memorable monkey-themed mini-game where Snake used stun grenades and his "Monkey Shaker" gun to neutralize the primates.
Beyond its fresh first-person perspective, *Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater* seems poised to deliver an almost pixel-perfect recreation of the original. As IGN noted in their preview, “*Metal Gear Solid Delta* feels more like a highly polished HD remaster than the transformative remake it could have been. It’s a stunning journey through nostalgia, though perhaps overly faithful in execution.”To stay updated on everything announced during State of Play 2025, head over to IGN’s comprehensive roundup to learn more about upcoming releases for PlayStation 5.
