Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater[c] is an upcoming action-adventure stealth video game developed and published by Konami. It is a remake of the 2004 game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, the fifth main entry in the Metal Gear franchise and the first chronological game overall. Set in 1964, the game follows a FOX operative codenamed Naked Snake, who must save a Russian rocket scientist and sabotage the Soviet nuclear superweapon Shagohod, while clearing the United States from Soviet suspicion amid Cold War tensions, and confronting his former mentor, The Boss, who has defected to their side.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is the first major entry in the Metal Gear franchise since the release of Metal Gear Survive in 2018, when Konami stopped publishing AAA third-party console games in favor of budget and mobile titles. Their internal studio, Konami Digital Entertainment, developed the game, with Metal Gear Survive and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (2006) producer Noriaki Okamura and Metal Gear Solid V creative producer Yuji Korekado supervising the project, and with Singaporean studio Virtuos contributing additional development. The game was announced in May 2023. Snake Eater was chosen to be remade over other entries due to its status as an origin story for the franchise and its pivotal characters. Delta's titling emerged from the development team's desires to faithfully reproduce Snake Eater's gameplay and story with modern graphics and enhancements, but without significant deviations to its original structure.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is tentatively scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S in 2024.
