Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has unveiled new in-game footage, showing stunning realistic graphics made using Unreal Engine 5. The original Metal Gear Solid 3 is one of the best games Konami ever made, so fans are eager to see if the remake will live up to the hype.
Originally announced back in May, Metal Gear Solid Delta is being developed by Konami’s in-house team and Virtuos, which made ports for games like Final Fantasy 10 and Nier Automata. The game is the spotlight of Metal Gear Solid’s latest revival, which also includes two collections of remasters of older titles.
Hideo Kojima Not Mentioned In New Credits For Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1
Hideo Kojima isn't named in the new credits for Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1, despite his massive role in creating the original games.
Gamers were able to see a video with in-game footage of Metal Gear Solid 3’s remake during Xbox Partner Preview. The video shows Snake sneaking around in the jungle while traversing murky waters and hiding from enemy soldiers in bushes. The clip also includes a few close shots of the local fauna like birds and crocodiles. Overall, it seems that the art design of the game is going for a realistic look. At the end of the trailer, it was also revealed that Metal Gear Solid Delta will be made using Epic’s Unreal Engine 5, which was already rumored to be the game’s engine.
While the graphics are looking good, it’s certain that remaking a classic like Metal Gear Solid Delta will not be easy. Hideo Kojima won’t work on the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake, as he’s not been part of Konami for years.
At the moment, Metal Gear Solid Delta does not have an official release date, but fans of the franchise still have something to play while they wait. The Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 was recently released, and it offers good value for the money, despite a few technical issues. Also, the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 is coming up in the near future, and a recent leak indicated that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain will be the titles available as part of the collection. Fans will have to wait for an official confirmation on that front, however.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is in development for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
