The trailer ends with a really quite upsetting depiction an Ape Escape monkey slapping its butt. From this we can assume, as Eurogamer did for me, that this indicates the return of the Snake vs Monkey minigame, for completion’s sake.

Sony may have spoiled the release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta, though the story beats will be very familiar to anyone who played the original.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was first unveiled by publisher Konami back in May 2023, with sprinkles of details since then. There hasn’t been an official release date for the game, beyond the 2025 window. Now though, in an apparent leak via an official source, we may have a date to mark on our calendars.
