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 is the first game from the franchise since 2018's Meta Gear Survive, and it's a remake of the original 2004 game. Not only does the new version include updated visuals comparable to modern games, but it will also have various quality-of-life improvements while staying faithful to the original.

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.
