Sony may have spoiled the release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta, though the story beats will be very familiar to anyone who played the original.

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 officially launching on August 28, 2025, confirming long-standing leaks about its delay.
