New Glimpse into Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Remake Unveiled

The much-anticipated remake of Metal Gear Solid 3, titled Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, has been unveiled further during the recent Xbox Partner Preview showcase. Konami showcased the in-engine gameplay, revealing the utilization of Unreal Engine 5, which is a departure from the Fox Engine used in past iterations of the game. Although tagged as "pre-alpha footage," the trailer showcases Big Boss navigating through various environments reminiscent of the original game, hinting at a promising blend of nostalgic and modern gameplay elements​​.

The collaboration between Konami and Chinese port specialist, Virtuos, is notable. The development sees Konami's internal team working hand-in-hand with Virtuos, which has a mixed track record in port and remaster work. This partnership aims to breathe new life into the iconic title, with Virtuos providing support to ensure the remake resonates with both new and returning players​​.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, which is set for release on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5, although lacking a confirmed release window, is bound to rekindle the classic espionage action for the gaming community. The involvement of Unreal Engine 5 hints at an enhanced graphical and gameplay experience, potentially setting a new benchmark for remakes in the industry.
