Overview

  • The remake is slated to release on August 28 for new-generation consoles and PC.
  • Critics describe a faithful recreation that keeps the original story, atmosphere and voice performances, with no new scenarios or added narrative content.
  • Players can choose between a Legacy setup and a New control style, with classic or over-the-shoulder camera options and streamlined radio, camouflage and item access.
  • New movement and CQC options bring tactics closer to The Phantom Pain, while Unreal Engine visuals significantly upgrade textures, color and environmental detail.
  • Early hands-on reports highlight weak enemy AI and note frame-rate drops on PS5 preview builds, and pricing near $70 in Argentina factors into value judgments.
