Konami is reviving the beloved Metal Gear series with a retro-remake titled Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. The game is an updated version of 2004’s Metal Gear Solid 3, and its developers are training younger developers to carry on the legacy of the iconic series.
The last legitimate Metal Gear Solid game was released in 2015, but the series’ creator, Hideo Kojima, moved on from Konami to form his own studio. The new game aims to reintroduce the franchise for nostalgic players and newcomers alike, with modernized controls and overhauled visuals.
According to its developers, Metal Gear Solid Delta is not just a remake of one classic title but also a learning experience. They have been gathering feedback from younger development staff and understanding what frustrates modern gamers. The goal is to maintain the original story and gameplay while making it accessible to new players.
The release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater marks the return of the series, which began in 1987 on the MSX2 home computer. Konami’s plans for a future Metal Gear outing remain uncertain, but the developer is focusing on building a team that can carry on the legacy and produce new games.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC starting August 28.
