Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater[lower-alpha 2] is an upcoming action-adventure stealth video game developed and published by Konami. It is a remake of the 2004 game Metal Gear Solid 3, the fifth main entry in the Metal Gear franchise and the first chronological game overall. Like the original, the remake is set in 1964 and follows a FOX operative codenamed Naked Snake, who must save a Russian rocket scientist and sabotage the Shagohod, a Soviet nuclear superweapon - while also clearing his country from Soviet suspicion amid Cold War tensions and confronting his former mentor The Boss, who has defected to their side.

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 first stopped publishing third-party console games in favor of mid-size titles and mobile games. Their internal studio Konami Digital Entertainment developed the game, and Singaporean studio Virtuos provided support. The game was announced in May 2023 at PlayStation Showcase 2023.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows and Xbox Series X/S in 2024.

Development

After the release of Metal Gear Solid V, Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima publicly split with Konami. In October 2015, Konami's head of gaming Hideki Hayakawa said that the company would pull out of developing and publishing major third-party games for consoles and PC, and that they would instead focus on mobile gaming and arcades.[3] Still, in 2018 Konami released the spin-off game Metal Gear Survive without Kojima. The game was widely panned and failed to sell.[4]

In October 2021, Video Games Chronicle writer Andy Robinson reported that Konami was returning to the mainstream video game industry and beginning production on multiple new projects in older Konami console game franchises that had been dormant, including Metal Gear as well as Castlevania and Silent Hill.[5]

The remake was a co-production between the Konami's internal developer Konami Digital Entertainment (KDE), who developed several previous Metal Gear games, and Virtuos as a support studio. Virtuos also helped with the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection ports.[1] Konami's choice to remake Snake Eater over other Metal Gear titles was due to its nature as an origin story for the franchise and specifically for Big Boss. Konami also confirmed that neither Hideo Kojima or original artist Yoji Shinkawa were involved in the remake, but that the development team wanted to produce a faithful adaptation and would not add anything new to the story.[6]

According to the official Metal Gear Twitter account, the delta symbol in the game's title "fits the concept of the remake project. Delta means "change" or "difference" without changing structure."[7] apparently referring to the symbol's use in math and science to mean a change in quantity. The remake will reuse the voice actors' audio from the original release of Snake Eater.[8][9] The game will be powered by Unreal Engine 5, making it the first Metal Gear title since Kojima Productions' dissolution to not use the publisher's proprietary Fox Engine technology that previously powered Metal Gear Survive.[10]

Release

Metal Gear Sold Delta: Snake Eater was announced for PlayStation 5 on May 24, 2023 at PlayStation Showcase 2023, alongside the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 compilation, which includes the original version of Snake Eater. Following the presentation, the game was confirmed for Windows and Xbox Series X/S.[11][12] An in-engine gameplay trailer was presented on October 25, 2023 during Microsoft's Xbox Partner Preview digital presentation.[13] A PlayStation promotional video published online at the start of the year confirmed the game as targeting a 2024 launch window.[14][15]
