The confirmed Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater game that was initially believed to be coming in 2024 has a new leak, pointing to a new release date. Leakers believe this new information is more sound, but it effectively extends the wait for the anticipated remake from Konami, focusing on a revamp of the title.

After releasing a teaser earlier this year, Konami is gearing up for Snake's and its renowned Metal Gear franchise's return to the modern gaming industry. 

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date Leaked

As revealed by renowned leaker billbil-kun (via Dealabs), a new release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater popped up online. A recent placeholder suggested that the game would arrive by December 31, 2025. While this puts the game at a release date under 2026, it is believed to be more accurate compared to the previous information. 

Earlier, a 2024 placeholder suggested that the game would be released closer than what people believed, but there were massive doubts on this, and now the latest leak suggests otherwise. 

There are still no confirmations about when Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be released, but this change in the placeholder gives reason to believe that it will see a later timeline.
