Konami has released its fiscal year 2025 results, but has not yet set a release date for "Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater," suggesting a possible release delay. The title, which revisits the classic Metal Gear Solid 3 with visual improvements and updates, is one of the most anticipated releases by fans of the franchise. The remake was originally scheduled for release in 2024.

The remake was officially announced at the PlayStation Showcase in 2023. Since then, it has been listed 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, maintaining only that the project is still in development.
The remake's long-awaited release date raises expectations and uncertainties
Uncertainty surrounding the release of Metal Gear Solid Delta deepened after Konami updated the market on the progress of its production. The most recent document, published in September, states that the game still has "no announced date" and details that the team remains committed to production. According to experts, this indicates that the release will only occur in the company's fiscal year 2025, which extends until March 2025, delaying the title beyond its initial deadline.
Konami had already adopted this practice in previous updates, such as in August of this year, when it also failed to specify a release date. Even with the initial listing on Sony's website and the anticipation created by retailers like GameStop, which even announced a November 2024 release date—later denied—the Japanese company's silence suggests that its release plans have been revised.
Konami's remake strategy keeps fans on their toes
In recent years, Konami has invested heavily in remakes of its classic titles, aiming to attract a new generation of gamers. Silent Hill 2 , for example, was re-released with improved graphics and featured the collaboration of Bloober Team. Metal Gear Solid Delta , on the other hand, represents an opportunity to bring a renowned narrative from the series to modern audiences, this time with updated technology.
Metal Gear Solid fans , the wait for Snake Eater means a reunion with one of the franchise's most iconic plots, known for its complex themes of espionage and loyalty. The delay, while frustrating, hasn't dampened the community's enthusiasm, as they eagerly await official news.
Metal Gear Solid Delta price and editions also generate interest
According to sources like Dealabs, which tracks gaming industry trends, the remake will feature a standard edition priced at approximately $69.99 and a collector's edition priced at around $199.99.
These versions are still awaiting official confirmation, but they demonstrate Konami's interest in catering to both new players and collectors of the series. Furthermore, rumors indicate that Konami may officially announce pre-order options and further details of the special editions in the coming days.
