METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER, a remake of the 2004 action-adventure stealth game written and directed by Hideo Kojima, will be released for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam on Thursday, August 28, according to a new 2-minute trailer for the Unreal Engine 5 game that has surfaced online ahead of what has been rumored to be a new PlayStation State of Play.
“Discover the origin story of iconic military operative Snake and begin to unravel the plot of the legendary METAL GEAR series. METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER brings unprecedented new graphics, immersive stealth action gameplay and sounds to its riveting story as players once again return to the world of METAL GEAR,” reads a description for the game, which, apparently, will include an updated version of Snake vs. Monkey—the original minigame from the PS2 version of MGS3 that pitted Snake vs. the monkeys from Sony’s Ape Escape series.
“Rival nations are secretly developing weapons that could threaten the future of mankind,” the description continues. “Deep in the jungle, an elite soldier must combine stealth with survival to infiltrate the enemy and stop a weapon of mass destruction from triggering the largest full-scale war the world has ever seen.”
David Hayter, the Canadian-American actor, screenwriter, director, and producer best known to Metal Gear players as the voice behind the English version of Solid Snake, also happens to have turned 56 today.
“A birthday? Damn,” Hayter tweeted on X this afternoon before telling his followers that “age hasn’t slowed me down one bit.”
