Konami has released its financial report for the second quarter of 2025, but has yet to set a date for "Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater," indicating a possible delay in its 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 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 anticipated releases for this year on Sony's official website. Konami, however, has not released any formal confirmation regarding an exact date, only stating that the project is still in development.
The highly anticipated release date for the remake is generating both expectations and uncertainties
Uncertainty surrounding the release of Metal Gear Solid Delta has solidified after Konami updated the market on the progress of its productions. The most recent document, published in September, states that the game is still "without an announced date" and details that the team remains committed to production. According to experts, this is an indication that the release should only occur in the company's fiscal year 2025, 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 expectation created by stores like GameStop, which even announced a date for November 2024 — later denied — the silence of the Japanese company suggests that the release plans have been revised.
Konami's strategy with remakes keeps fans engaged
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 a celebrated narrative from the series to a modern audience, this time with updated technology.
Metal Gear Solid fans Snake Eater 's return means a reunion with one of the franchise's most iconic storylines, known for its complex issues of espionage and loyalty. The delay, while frustrating, hasn't dampened the community's enthusiasm, which eagerly awaits official news.
The price and editions of Metal Gear Solid Delta are also generating interest
According to sources such as the Dealabs website, which tracks trends in the gaming industry, the remake will have a standard edition costing 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 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 more details about the special editions in the coming days.
