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.

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 release date for arguably one of the most anticipated games around has emerged, albeit in low-key fashion. According to an apparent leak on the PlayStation Store — perhaps about as official as you can get without a splashy announcement elsewhere — Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is set to arrive on August 28.
