Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is actually considered one of the most promising games of 2024, but will it end up being a waste of time? According to a reliable insider, there are now indications that the release might not take place until 2025.
billbil_kun is considered one of the most reliable leakers and insiders in the video game industry, having hit the mark with his predictions in the past with dreamlike certainty. He regularly accurately named the upcoming PlayStation Plus line-ups before the official announcement, so that his statements were almost tantamount to an announcement.
Now the insider is making people sit up and take notice again, because according to him, there are now solid indications that the large-scale remake Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater might not be released until next year, 2025. At the beginning of the year, Sony had listed the title as one of the big blockbusters for 2024 and has stuck to this plan to this day. But will things turn out completely differently in the end?
In any case, billbil_kun gets a lot of his information via data mining from websites – and here, too, he has found something. According to this, in the depths of the source code of a large online retailer, December 31, 2025 is now listed as a placeholder date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater – a clear indication that the release will not take place until 2025. In this context, there is also talk of two different editions of the title: in addition to the $70 standard edition, there is also a collector’s edition for $200.
The postponement is not entirely certain to date – also due to the lack of an official announcement – and also because billbil_kun says he was unable to verify the information through a second independent source. Nevertheless, he believes a release in 2025 is likely due to the new data – and in his case, that means something given the high hit rate.
Clarity could possibly prevail in a few days, because due to the newly announced editions and data updates behind the scenes, the insider expects a new presentation of the title soon. billbil_kun firmly believes that this will happen within the next 10 days – and that would fit perfectly with the upcoming Summer Game Fest, which begins on June 7th.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 and is scheduled to be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
As part of the Xbox Partner Preview this evening, in-engine sequences based on the Unreal Engine 5 from the new Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater were shown for the first time.
