Overview

  • Konami confirmed on its official Japanese X account that Fox Hunt will not allow cross-platform play among PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S users.
  • The camouflage-driven mode will launch as a standalone update in fall 2025 rather than alongside the main game’s August 28 release.
  • Fox Hunt is an original hide-and-seek multiplayer mode inspired by Metal Gear Online’s stealth mechanics and directed by veteran designer Yu Sahara.
  • Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remains on track for August 28 and features Unreal Engine 5 visuals, updated control schemes, and platform-exclusive bonus modes such as Snake Vs. Monkey and Snake Vs. Bomberman.
  • Fans and outlets warn that delaying Fox Hunt and splitting player pools could undermine its longevity during a crowded fall release schedule.
