It promises to keep everything in the original game's essence while using improved gameplay, visuals, and mechanics to enhance the immersive stealth experience.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Plot
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has the same plot as the 2004 game. The events are set during the Cold War and serve as a prequel to the Metal Gear franchise. It will revolve around the highly skilled operative Naked Snake, who is tasked to rescue the Russian rocket scientist Nikolai Stepanovich Sokolov and sabotage a nuclear superweapon. While doing so, the skilled operator must also eliminate his former boss. Like the original, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater also explores the themes of loyalty, duty, and the impact of war.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Gameplay
Due to being made on Unreal Engine 5, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater features improved AI, realistic environments, and advanced character animations. Like in the original, players would be again relying on camouflage, close-quarters combat, and tactical espionage to complete missions. Moreover, the survival element returns from the original game, as players would have to hunt for food, heal injuries, and adapt to the tropical and industrial setting. Players would need better stealth tactics, as the enemies would be more responsive.

Konami will release Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater across platforms like PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC to use its next-gen hardware for smooth gameplay and visuals. However, the last-gen console players might be missing this immersive stealth experience since the Japanese giants have shared no plans to release the title on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.
