During yesterday's State of Play livestream, KONAMI aired a new Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater gameplay trailer. The footage shows off Snake's various stealth and disguise options before moving to more direct fight scenes against a few of the game's bosses. Before the end, the developers also offered a glimpse at the returning Snake vs Monkey minigame, which will be available on PC and PlayStation 5.
Following years of rumors telling of a Metal Gear Solid 3 remake, KONAMI finally announced Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater in May 2023. This new version is being made with the help of Virtuos, which has also worked with Bethesda on the recently released The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.
Last year, it was confirmed that the narrative would remain exactly the same as in the original. At the same time, the developers admitted that the control scheme had to be updated to modern standards.
Players can opt for the newly added, more modern control style. These intuitive controls allow them to focus entirely on the game. Alternatively, it is also possible to stick with the classic control style for those who desire the full-blown nostalgia effect.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is powered by Unreal Engine 5 technology, which brings a massive visual improvement over the original game. The developers said that characters are rendered with such detail that you can see facial wrinkles and pores, as well as separate eye and iris movements, allowing for rich and expressive facial animations.
You can also find the PC system requirements below, courtesy of the Steam page. The game is out on August 28 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X.
