Fans of the Metal Gear Solid series have reason to be happy: A leak on the PlayStation Store has now revealed the release date of the highly anticipated “Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater”. It was originally thought that the remake of the third game in the series might be released as early as 2024. But Konami instead kept the community in the dark for a long time. Now it’s official: on August 28, 2025, Snake will return in a remastered versionof his first chronological adventure.
The game will be released for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC The release will be accompanied by an optimized version for the PlayStation 5 Pro. This is confirmed by further details from the leak. With the remake, Konami is once again taking on one of the most popular titles in the series, which originally appeared in 2004 for the PlayStation 2. “Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater” promises not only a graphical upgrade, but also numerous improvements in gameplay and an even more intense gaming experience.
The return of a fan favorite is also exciting: the iconic mini-game “Snake vs. Monkey” is apparently celebrating a revival, as a short scene at the end of the leaked trailer shows. A small monkey from the Ape Escape series appears here – a humorous detail that already caused many a laugh in the original.
Leak reveals more than just the release date
The leak on the PlayStation Store not only reveals the release date, but also shows a brand new trailer that has not yet been officially released. This surprises fans with fresh scenes from the stealth title. It shows Snake navigating dangerous terrain in dense jungle. This is a taste of the immersive atmosphere and challenging gameplay that the remake will offer.
Interestingly, the leak also raises questions: the trailer and the associated product page were apparently uploaded by mistake. It remains unclear whether Konami had already planned an announcement or whether the trailer is part of a possible “State of Play” presentation However, the fact that such a mistake happened is unlikely to dampen fans’ anticipation.
With the release of the remake, Konami aims to inspire both nostalgics and new players. The third installment of the series is considered one of the highlights of the Metal Gear Solid series. Not least because of its innovative gameplay mechanics and profound story. It will be exciting to see what other innovations Konami has added. Nevertheless, the wait until August 2025 could be a test of patience for many.
