Konami has reportedly delayed the release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater to 2025. This news comes from a credible source, Dealabs user billbil-kun, who has a reliable track record for such leaks. The remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 was initially set for a 2024 launch, as announced at the May 2023 PlayStation Showcase.
The delay rumors suggest that the game needs more development time, which explains why no gameplay footage has been shown yet. Konami had teased the game’s visuals, showcasing various environments and the opening scenes from Metal Gear Solid 3 using a new graphics engine. However, with no significant updates since then, a delay to 2025 appears likely.
Speculations indicate that Konami might announce the new release window during the upcoming Summer Game Fest, scheduled for early June. It’s expected that pre-orders will open shortly after the announcement, with the standard edition priced at $69.99 and a Collector’s Edition available for $199.99.
The delay aligns with Konami’s recent pattern, as they are also set to release the Silent Hill 2 remake for PS5 and PC later this year. This strategic shift ensures adequate focus on each title, allowing for better game quality upon release.
