Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Showcases Eva and Ocelot In New Trailer

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Showcases Eva and Ocelot In New Trailer

As a gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that this week has been nothing short of a nostalgic dream come true. The remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, now known as Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, is not just a game for the modern generation, but a testament to the timeless storytelling and immersive gameplay that defined my formative years in gaming.


As a devoted gamer, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the reboot of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, and today at the Tokyo Game Show, we got an extensive in-engine trailer using Unreal Engine 5. This glimpse into the game has me even more excited for its release!

This week has been quite enjoyable for Metal Gear enthusiasts, as the PC versions of both Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty received a significant upgrade, now offering keyboard and mouse control options for the first time.

In 2004, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater made its debut on the PlayStation 2. For numerous players, this game marked their first encounter with themes of espionage, deceit, and even a childhood game known as Snakes & Ladders.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain, collectively known as Metal Gear Solid V: The Definitive Experience, served as the first true Metal Gear Solid title following the departure of its creator, Hideo Kojima, in 2015 to focus on developing Death Stranding.

In the year 1964, the Cold War was showing signs of thawing, and our main character was none other than a budding Big Boss, well before he embarked on his paramilitary entrepreneurial journey.

Former Green Beret turned covert operative, codenamed Naked Snake, is dispatched to the vicinity of Tselinoyarsk in the Soviet Union on a mission. His objective is twofold: retrieve a leading weapons scientist and prevent the launch of the Shagohod nuclear-tank prototype.

The trailer opens with a remake of the iconic high-altitude parachute insertion, with Naked Snake arriving in the Soviet jungle in the bug-looking HALO mask.

Next Gen Please, But Make It Retro

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Showcases Eva and Ocelot In New Trailer

In a charmingly rough way, Metal Gear Solid Delta showcases an old-school vibe reminiscent of the PlayStation 3 era amidst its graphics that could easily pass for Unreal 5 quality.

In this version, the voiceovers and sound mixing are mainly carried over from Metal Gear Solid 3, and they seem surprisingly incongruous against the backdrop of the scene’s ray-traced lighting, yet in an enjoyable manner.

This remake is the pinnacle of Snake Eater, with all its details finally appreciated in full HD.

Observing KGB gunman Ocelot’s repetitive gunmanship using his regular Makarov pistol is mesmerizing, and this hypnotic sensation permeates throughout the entire trailer. The newly enhanced gruesome texture of GRU Colonel Volgin’s scars adds a chilling effect.

At the Tokyo Game Show, we get our initial glimpse of Eva, who continues to captivate in a chic olive jumpsuit and vintage aviator goggles draped around her neck.

Previous analyses have revealed that the movement mechanics in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater bear a striking resemblance to those seen in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, released in 2015.

As a gamer, I’d say that the combat feels like I’ve stepped back into the world of “Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriot”, a game from 2008 for the PlayStation 3.

There is no accurate release date announced for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.

It’s important to remember that while the current plan suggests the game will be released this year, history has shown us that plans and actual outcomes don’t always align perfectly, as demonstrated by titles like Assassin’s Creed Shadows and STALKER 2.
