A remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is in the works and will be called Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. The first trailer for the project was revealed during Sony’s PlayStation Showcase on Wednesday, with no expected release date announced. The remake is coming to the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
Originally released in 2004 on the PlayStation 2, Metal Gear Solid 3 is critically acclaimed and is widely regarded as one of the video games of all time. It was the fifth Metal Gear game directed by Death Stranding’s Hideo Kojima and the prequel to the Metal Gear series. The game follows the story of the protagonist, Naked Snake, who is tasked with rescuing a Soviet Union scientist, Sokolov. The game’s emphasis is based on using stealth to bring down enemies instead of going into confrontations.
“The Delta symbol (Δ) was chosen because its meaning fits the concept of the remake project. Delta means “change” or “difference” without changing structure,” Konami tweeted to explain the rename. Kojima had a public split from Konami in 2015, but there is no word on if he is involved in this remake.
Konami shared that the game will be “the same gripping story and engrossing world, but now with cutting-edge graphics and 3D audio, which bring the jungle to life. Get ready for the ultimate survival, stealth and action experience.”
In addition to the announcement, the first three games in the series – Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, and Snake Eater, are coming to the PlayStation this autumn as a bundle called Metal Gear Solid Master Collection: Volume 1.
