Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Launches to Split Reviews

Konami’s remake hews closely to Metal Gear Solid 3 in Unreal Engine 5, with a Fox Hunt multiplayer mode planned after launch without cross-play.

Overview

  • The game released on August 28 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC following a brief early-access window for digital deluxe buyers.
  • Delta rebuilds the 2004 classic with modern visuals, optional over-the-shoulder aiming, and streamlined menus while retaining original level layouts and cutscenes.
  • Critical response varies, with praise for presentation and control feel (GameSpot 9/10) contrasted by critiques that legacy design quirks still frustrate (The Verge).
  • Konami confirmed the competitive Fox Hunt mode will arrive later this fall and will not support cross-play.
  • Original voice performances were preserved, and Konami offered multiple editions from Standard to a $200 Collector’s Edition, which briefly resurfaced at Walmart for about $329.90.
