The updated store page not only references the release date but also introduces an in-engine trailer, which has yet to be officially released via public video channels like YouTube. Additionally, fans will be excited to hear that the iconic Snake vs. Monkey minigame is poised to make a comeback, according to the trailer’s final snippets.
A Faithful Yet Modernized Remake

New Control Scheme: Revisions intended to smooth out gameplay for contemporary standards.
Improved Visuals: Engineered in Unreal Engine 5, showcasing enhanced textures, lighting, and character models.
Nostalgic Core: Series producer Noriaki Okamura stresses minimal changes to maintain a nostalgic vibe, ensuring returning fans feel “right at home.”
Return of Snake vs. Monkey
Beyond its main stealth-action campaign, the snippet from the reveal indicates Snake vs. Monkey—a crossover minigame with Capcom’s Ape Escape—will return. Known for its witty comedic tone and unique objectives, Snake vs. Monkey earned cult status among Metal Gear Solid 3 players.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be available worldwide on August 28 for:
PC
PlayStation 5
Xbox Series X|S
While the official trailer has yet to make the rounds on YouTube and other platforms, the PlayStation Store listing and a hidden trailer file give fans an early glimpse of what’s in store for Snake’s reimagined infiltration. Expect further details to emerge as Konami ramps up pre-launch marketing.
