Metal Gear Solid Delta is one of the year's most hotly-anticipated games, but a new leak from PlayStation may have inadvertently revealed the Snake Eater's release dateTech14:51, 06 Feb 2025Updated 15:05, 06 Feb 2025We could be playing as Snake come August(Image: KONAMI)Metal Gear Solid is a series all about unexpected twists and turns, so it's perhaps fitting that the next game's release date should leak in such a surprising way on a random Thursday in February.Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a ground-up remake of one of the most well-regarded games of the PS2 era, and while we've been hearing about it for quite some time, its release date has remained a mystery until now.While the store page has been updated to remove the date, the PlayStation Store briefly revealed when we'll be able to play it.Get ready to go through the emotional wringer again(Image: KONAMI)As spotted over at Resetera, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is seemingly launching on August 28. It's not quite a placeholder date, so it seems likely to be the real deal especially since the store page has returned to just featuring a nice vague '2025' release year.The game is also listed as PS5 Pro enhanced, but no further information about additional features for Sony's most powerful console were revealed.It seems someone jumped the gun, and while it's not clear how this happened, it's not the only thing of note that leaked.Another trailer for the stealth action title has leaked via the store page, packed with classic moments and a revised version of the score, so it'll be interesting to see if Konami decides to release it anyway. The trailer ends with the same release date.Perhaps most surprising is the appearance of one of the Apes from Ape Escape at the end, suggesting the Snake vs Monkey minigame will return.As exciting as it is, it's still a little sad when something like this leaks because it stops everyone being able to experience the reveal together. Speculation had suggested Sony would hold a State of Play event in the coming weeks, and one would imagine that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater would have been a big title for it.Still, between Switch 2, GTA 6, Monster Hunter Wilds and this, 2025 could become one of the greatest years in gaming history.Article continues belowFor the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.
