GameStop has said that the Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater release date is posted on Twitter was incorrect, meaning fans don't know when they will get to play the highly-anticipated remake. Series creator Hideo Kojima leaving Konami left the Metal Gear Solid franchise stuck in a limbo of sorts. For years, Konami did very little with the IP besides license it for non-gaming purposes and release the poorly-received Metal Gear Survive.

More recent years have seen Konami renew its focus on the gaming industry and reviving its classic franchises. As far as Metal Gear goes, Konami released Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 and has announced plans to launch a full-fledged remake of Snake Eater for modern platforms. The Snake Eater remake received an impressive new gameplay trailer at the Xbox Games Showcase, but no official release date.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Leaked Release Date Debunked

It's possible that the November 17, 2024 release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is accurate and GameStop simply let the cat out of the bag early, but that remains to be seen. The latest claims, from reliable insiders and leakers, have said that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is actually being delayed to 2025. This is despite the fact that the game was once pointed to by Sony as one of the major new releases hitting the PS5 in 2024. As it stands, there's been no official word on the Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater release date or the game's potential delay to 2025, so fans should stay tuned for more information on that front.

In the meantime, some exciting new details have been confirmed about the game. It's been revealed that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is improving the battle damage system from the original game, and that it will have "Legacy" options for those that want it to play more like the original 2004 release. There's still a lot to be revealed when it comes to Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, including its release date, but more information should come to light in the months ahead.
