Fans of the iconic Metal Gear Solid series have been waiting for the release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remake of the beloved MGS3. The game has been a topic of discussion since its announcement at the 2023 PlayStation Showcase.
The game promises to be a fitting tribute to one of the most beloved entries in the series. And as with any remake fans expect improved graphics, modernized controls, and a faithful recreation of the original experience. However, one burning question remains: When will it be released?
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Finally Gets an Update
Fans have been eagerly awaiting any official word on the release date of Metal Gear Solid Delta but Konami has remained tight-lipped about the exact release date. New reports from an official PlayStation blog post and some early hands-on previews suggest that it might be revealed later this year.
WHENS IT OUT!!

There are two key events where this announcement could take place: the Tokyo Game Show (TGS) in September or a potential PlayStation Showcase. Historically, TGS has seen major announcements so the decision to announce the release date at TGS would make sense.
The event is scheduled to run from September 26th to 29th and will feature Konami alongside other Japanese developers and publishers. Considering the anticipation and recent news surrounding Metal Gear Solid Delta, it’d be the perfect time for an announcement.

A PlayStation Showcase could also be the stage for this much-awaited reveal. Since the game was originally announced at a PlayStation event, it would be fitting to reveal the release date in a similar setting. But with no PlayStation event confirmed for the fourth quarter, this remains a possibility rather than a certainty.
But When is Big Boss Coming Back To Our Screens?
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is being developed by a combination of new talent and original MGS3 veterans. So fans can expect the game to stay true to its roots while incorporating modern elements. Early hands-on previews have praised the remake for its faithfulness to the original. The visuals have been particularly praised with the game being powered by Unreal Engine 5.

The game will feature Fidelity Mode which runs at 30 frames per second, and Performance Mode which will offer a smoother 60 frames per second experience. This aligns with the expectations since the game will be released on the PS5.
The game also has a variety of quality-of-life improvements such as a modernized menu design and better accessibility options. Players can tweak how they ready their weapons and equipment, choose between toggle or hold actions for grabbing enemies, and adjust visual settings like color correction and the center dot display.
As for the release date, the PlayStation Blog hinted that it will be announced later this year, though no exact date was given. With the Tokyo Game Show scheduled for late September and The Game Awards in December, both events could be where Konami finally reveals it.
