Sony mistakenly unveiled the December 2025 timeline for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater before it was supposed to happen. The PlayStation Store disclosed the August 28, 2025 release date before it received official acknowledgement during the State of Play event. This game will be available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC users.

A remake based on the original 2004 game has visual and gameplay enhancements to the original design. The development team used Unreal Engine 5 to develop the game for realistic visuals across the jungle settings. The devs improved character models and animations aside from keeping the original voice actors and their performance in the remake.

A substantial update includes a transformation of the included minigames. Due to licensing restrictions, Snake vs. Monkey mode which featured Ape Escape characters will not be present in the Xbox version. Xbox players will get a Bomberman-themed minigame as their substitute for the original mode which remains unchanged for PlayStation 5 and PC.

Although Konami has not announced other gameplay changes they guarantee that Snake Eater's core experience will stay faithful to its original version. The updated version of the game brings tactical espionage action from the classic title while adding new QoL improvements that improve the modern gaming experience.
