Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

Overview

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a 2025 action-adventure stealth game developed and published by Konami. It is a remake of the 2004 game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, the fifth main entry in the Metal Gear franchise and the first chronologically. Set in 1964, it follows a FOX operative codenamed Naked Snake, who must rescue a prominent Soviet rocket scientist and sabotage the Soviet nuclear superweapon Shagohod, while clearing the United States from Soviet suspicion amid Cold War tensions by confronting his former mentor, the Boss, who has defected to the Soviets.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is the first major entry in the Metal Gear franchise since the release of Metal Gear Survive in 2018, when Konami stopped publishing AAA third-party console games in favor of budget and mobile games. Their internal studio, Konami Digital Entertainment, developed the game, with Metal Gear Survive and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (2006) producer Noriaki Okamura and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (2015) creative producer Yuji Korekado supervising the project, and with Singaporean studio Virtuos contributing additional development. The game was announced in May 2023. Snake Eater was chosen to be remade over other entries due to its status as an origin story for the franchise and its pivotal characters. The game's title emerged from the development team's desires to faithfully reproduce Snake Eater's gameplay and story with modern graphics and enhancements, but without significant deviations to its original structure.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on August 28, 2025, to generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the graphics and gameplay changes, though many were divided on its extreme faithfulness to the original. The game was commercially successful, selling over two million units by March 2026.
