Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a visual remake first and foremost, and although many have questioned the need for a the new version after 2023's Master Collection, Delta really shines when it comes to its audio fidelity.

Over the last years, Konami has slowly inched its way back from concentrating on their pachinko business to releasing video games. Starting out with several classic game collection, the publisher also brought back the first Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid titles in its Master Collection Volume One. Before the second issue of this Collection hits shelves — a date has not yet been revealed — and we therefore see the remaster of the original Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater, Konami is bringing a full-on remake of the game that stands at the very front of the series chronological order. And while it is developed in-house, probably with a lot of former Metal Gear Solid series developers still on board, Metal Gear Solid and Konami cannot be said in the same sentence without mentioning that Hideo Kojima is of course not involved in this remake after his falling out with the publisher in the aftermath of Metal Gear Solid V.

The biggest selling point of Delta is without doubt its graphic fidelity, along with full 3D audio that is positioned to enhance the stealth gameplay of Naked Snake‘s original journey quite a bit. And with the last full Metal Gear Solid title being almost ten years in the past, multiplayer only Metal Gear Survive not counted, the remake serves as a welcome throwback into the high-profile games that Metal Gear Solid once were. And a nice introduction for new players, before an inevitable new game is announced in the future.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater releases on 28 August for PlayStation, Xbox and PC.
