At this rate, you will be customising your gaming room with Metal Gear Solid: Delta Snake Eater Funko Pops before any physical copy of the actual game. It's been noticed that versions of the naff collectibles based on Naked Snake and The Boss are available to pre-order now, even with an actual release date of 25th March 2025 on Amazon. This means that they're currently slated to release before the game even does.
While a Sony trailer did tag the PS5 remake project as a 2024 release, it never actually materialised, and now we enter a new year with the game still a mostly unknown quantity. We did play it at a Konami preview event along with Silent Hill 2 last year, where it revealed itself to be one of the most faithful remakes around — at least during the initial Virtuos Mission.
"Without the need for gameplay or story changes, what Konami and Virtuos are doing is tweaking near-perfection," we concluded at the time. "On the basis of the Virtuous Mission, they are going about the endeavour in the correct manner."
