We can now mark the day: Konami has confirmed the release date of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater for August 28, accompanied by a new trailer showcasing iconic characters from the saga, such as The Boss, Sokolov, and EVA. This remake, which generates high expectations among fans of the series, promises notable fidelity to the original material and graphical quality that has been praised in early impressions.

Despite the enthusiasm, fans of the Xbox Series X|S version will find a significant difference. The Snake vs Monkey game mode, which originally included the famous monkeys from the Ape Escape franchise, will not be available in this version due to licensing issues with Sony. Damn monkeys, how they ran. Instead, Konami has decided to replace the monkeys with Bomberman, the iconic mascot of its own franchise, which will result in a distinct gaming experience. While PS5 and Steam will offer the mode unchanged, the Xbox version promises a different setup, the details of which will be revealed later.
This announcement comes after the surprise caused by the revelation of Metal Gear Solid Delta during last week’s State of Play. Despite the controversy surrounding the exclusivity of the content, expectations continue to grow. The idea of reviving an immortal classic like Snake Eater has resurfaced strongly, especially considering the remarkable legacy of Hideo Kojima’s work in the video game industry.
With this new title scheduled for release at the end of August, players are eagerly awaiting one of the most iconic works in gaming history, right at a time when the sector is in full swing, particularly with the highly anticipated launch of GTA 6 expected at the end of the year.
