Overview

• Konami confirms release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on August 28, with Digital Deluxe pre-orders granting up to 48 hours of early access starting August 26.
• The remake is rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5 and adds a persistent battle-damage system, a modern control option alongside Legacy mode, and streamlined camo and codec menus.
• Critics report the game largely reuses original cutscenes and voice performances, noting sharp visuals and audio upgrades but few structural changes.
• Early impressions highlight occasional quirks such as segmented loading between areas, some movement and UI hiccups, and rare framerate dips, especially on base hardware.
• Multiple editions are available ($69.99 Tactical, $79.99 Digital Deluxe, $199.99 Collector’s) with platform bonus minigames and a “Fox Hunt” online mode planned for post-launch in fall 2025; producers say success could open the door to further remakes.
