As anticipation builds for the August release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Konami has unveiled the stealth game's opening movie. This cinematic introduction will feel instantly familiar to fans of the original, with only gentle deviations from the source material. From the iconic newspapers flashing on screen to the James Bond-esque title song, reprised by the original performer Cynthia Harrell, the essence of the classic is preserved.
The opening movie tantalizingly teases various in-game moments—without giving too much away—such as Snake executing a breathtaking Olympic-style backward dive off a waterfall, and indulging in his namesake activity by eating a snake. These glimpses are sure to excite long-time enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a remake of Konami's acclaimed 2004 action espionage title, originally known simply as Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Konami has confirmed that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will launch on August 28, and fans can look forward to the return of the beloved Snake vs. Monkey minigame. Additionally, the game will retain the suggestive and sexual content from Metal Gear Solid 3, including the Peep Demo Theatre, as indicated by its age rating.
In our Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater preview, IGN described it as "more like a very shiny HD remaster than the elegant remake it could have been." The game introduces a new first-person perspective for Snake, offering a fresh take while maintaining a strong sense of nostalgia. "It’s an admittedly beautiful nostalgia trip, but almost faithful to a fault," we noted. The original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater earned an impressive score of 9.6 from us, highlighting its enduring legacy.
