Konami released its fiscal second quarter 2025 report, but has not yet set a date for “Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater”, which indicates a possible postponement of the release. The title, which revisits the classic Metal Gear Solid 3 with visual improvements and updates, is one of the most anticipated productions by fans of the franchise. The remake was scheduled to be released in 2024

The remake was officially announced at the PlayStation Showcase in 2023. Since then, it has appeared as one of the expected releases for this year on Sony's official website. Konami, however, has not released any formal confirmation regarding an exact date, only maintaining that the project remains in development.
The remake's long-awaited release date generates expectations and uncertainty
The uncertainty surrounding the release of Metal Gear Solid Delta was consolidated after Konami updated the market on the progress of its productions. The most recent document, published in September, states that the game is still “unannounced” and details that the team remains committed to production. According to experts, this is an indication that the launch should only take place in the company's 2025 fiscal year, which extends until March 2025, postponing the title beyond the initial deadline.
Konami had already adopted this practice in previous updates, such as in August of this year, when it also did not specify a release date. Even with the initial listing on Sony's website and the expectations created by stores like GameStop, which even announced a date for November 2024 — later denied —, the Japanese company's silence suggests that the launch plans have been revised.
Konami's strategy with remakes keeps fans attentive
In recent years, Konami has invested heavily in remakes of its classic titles, aiming to attract a new generation of players. Silent Hill 2 , for example, was re-released with improved graphics and featured the participation of the Bloober Team studio. Metal Gear Solid Delta , in turn, represents an opportunity to bring modern audiences an established narrative from the series, this time with updated technology.
For fans of Metal Gear Solid , the wait for the return of Snake Eater means a reunion with one of the franchise's most iconic plots, known for its complex issues of espionage and loyalty. The delay, although frustrating, has not yet dampened the enthusiasm of the community, which is eagerly awaiting official news.
Price and editions of Metal Gear Solid Delta also cause interest
According to sources such as the website Dealabs, which follows trends in the gaming industry, the remake will have a standard edition of approximately US$69.99 (about R$350) and a collector's edition, which will cost around US$ $199.99 (approximately R$1160 in direct conversion).
These versions are still awaiting official confirmation, but they show Konami's interest in serving both new players and collectors of the series. Furthermore, rumors indicate that Konami may officially announce pre-order options and more details about the special editions in the coming days.
