The anticipation for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has reached a fever pitch among fans of the iconic stealth action series. The game, a remake of the beloved Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, promises to bring modern graphics and gameplay enhancements to its classic narrative.
Gaming legend Hideo Kojima’s masterful storytelling combined with cutting-edge technology to deliver an unforgettable gaming experience. The upcoming title is set to reintroduce players to Snake Snake and tell them how he went on to become Big Boss.
One aspect that fans are most excited about is the visual overhaul Snake Eater is set to get. The original game was a technical marvel for its time; it pushed the PlayStation 2 to its limits and brought the jungles of the Soviet Union to life.
Since its announcement, publisher Konami has revealed several Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater trailers. Let’s look at everything we know about this upcoming stealth action game.
‘Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater’ reveal and development history
Konami announced this remake during the PlayStation Showcase of May 2023, alongside Master Collection Vol. 1, a compilation featuring the original version of Snake Eater. Next month, Konami also released a lengthy trailer showcasing its visuals during June 2023’s Xbox Games Showcase.
It was revealed that the game is being developed by Konami Digital Entertainment and Virtuous, a studio best known for porting AAA games like Bioshock to the Nintendo Switch console.
Rumours suggest that this game’s development started sometime in 2021–22, and Konami intends to remake several other popular classics, such as games from the Castlevania franchise. It makes sense too, as Metal Gear series creator Hideo Kojima has moved on to his Death Stranding franchise already developing its sequel, Konami had to do this on their own.

‘Snake Eater’ gameplay and visuals
Developers have confirmed that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will play mostly like the original game. The game will offer players the option to choose to play with a classic camera angle, which they have named the Legacy Style. Then there’s a new style that features a third-person camera angle, just like the newer Metal Gear Solid games.
Visually, this game has pretty much all the bells and whistles that any other modern game releases. Detailed character models, realistic environments, and a whole new damage system. Now, whenever Snake gets hurt in this game, the marks of those wounds will remain with him till the end of the game.
It looks like the developers are using Unreal Engine 5 to its full extent. They seem to have no intentions of changing the game in a major way but are just adding new things to it to make sure fans have a reason to play it once again.
