French Site Leaks Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Preview

Key Takeaways

  • An early French preview of MGS Delta leaks and gets deleted very quickly.
  • The game is closer to MGS4 than MGSV with a few extra details sprinkled around.
  • Kojima-era devs are working on the remake.

As a die-hard fan of the Metal Gear Solid series who has spent countless hours sneaking through jungles and battling rogue agents, I must say that the latest news about the remake of MGS3: Snake Eater is music to my ears! The fact that it’s closer to MGS4 than MGSV, with those extra details in cutscenes, makes me think we’re in for a real treat.


A French gaming website, Game Videos (previously known as Jeux Video), briefly posted and subsequently removed a sneak peek video for the upcoming game, “Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.”

Based on LordEmmerichF91’s statement, it appears that the reviewer had approximately 90 minutes to experience the game, taking cutscenes into account. It’s possible that they only progressed through the “Virtuous Mission” segment of the game, which is the section showcased in Konami’s promotional materials.

According to the translation, the French reviewer noted that the game played more like Metal Gear Solid 4 rather than Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, with enhanced details in the cutscenes. Since MGSV is a semi-open world game, some players might find the gameplay less fluid when transitioning between the restricted environments of the older Metal Gear Solid games.

At the present time, the video cannot be located since YouTube (or similar platforms) is known for removing content posted by users who share leaked material from their site.

The person who first posted this expects to receive additional details by the coming week, though it’s yet to be confirmed.

Konami Might Actually Stick The Landing

Ever since the announcement of the remake for the Metal Gear series in May last year, many dedicated fans have expressed apprehension about Konami proceeding with the remake without the original creator, Hideo Kojima, involved. Given Konami’s history, it’s understandable to feel uneasy about them attempting to rework a game as cherished as Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.

But while Kojima might not be at Konami anymore, his peers are still there.

According to reports, a number of developers who worked under Kojima are currently involved in the development of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. This team includes Noriaki Okamura, who served as the production manager for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

Ever since Kojima left the company, Konami has introduced a Metal Gear zombie game and Pachinko machines. Given this situation, it seems like the smartest decision for them to appoint Okamura as the producer for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.

In addition to his roles, Okamura contributed as both project and production support for the games “Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance” and “Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker”. Moreover, Kojima acknowledged him with special thanks in the game “Metal Gear Solid”, released in 1998.

With limited showcases of actual gameplay, Konami’s reimagining of Silent Hill 2 could provide us with a good idea of what’s to come. If the horror game’s makeover serves as an indication, it looks like we’re in store for something exciting!

In addressing fan input, refining visuals, and subtly improving gameplay mechanics, the Silent Hill 2 remake appears to meet all criteria for an authentic refresh of a cherished title.

As a devoted fan, I must admit that the sneak peeks we’ve gotten of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater have been quite encouraging. Given Konami’s current projects seem to be going swimmingly, it’s tough not to feel optimistic. However, being the wise observer I am, I can’t help but remember that this is Konami we’re talking about. Therefore, while I’m excited, I also find it prudent to approach any positive news with a pinch of salt.

The game, “Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater,” currently doesn’t have a set launch date, but it’s anticipated to be released in the year 2024. Pre-orders are already being accepted.
