Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater introduces an entirely fresh take on multiplayer with its Fox Hunt mode, blending stealth mechanics with intense hide-and-seek gameplay. Konami’s upcoming remake revives the beloved franchise while offering something distinct from the classic Metal Gear Online experience that fans remember.
Fox Hunt represents a bold departure from traditional multiplayer shooters, focusing instead on tactical camouflage and environmental awareness. Players take on the role of soldiers navigating dense jungles, using advanced stealth tech to remain undetected while hunting, or being hunted by, their opponents. The mode emphasizes tension and strategy over run-and-gun action, staying true to the series’ roots.
Yu Sahara, the director behind Fox Hunt, describes it as a completely original concept that reimagines multiplayer for modern audiences. Unlike Metal Gear Online, which leaned heavily on team-based combat, this new mode leans into the core stealth mechanics that define the franchise. “We wanted to create something that feels uniquely Metal Gear,” Sahara explained. “The thrill of outsmarting your opponent through concealment and patience is what sets Fox Hunt apart.”
Beyond multiplayer, the remake brings back classic elements like Secret Theater, now expanded with new content hidden throughout the game. Players can also look forward to crossover modes, including Snake vs Monkey for PlayStation 5 and Snake vs Bomberman for Xbox, adding playful twists to the stealth-action formula.
Creative producer Yuji Korekado confirmed that while the core boss battles remain faithful to the original, improvements to AI and animations refine the experience. The game’s ESRB rating hints at returning extras like the Peep Demo Theater, ensuring longtime fans will find plenty of nostalgic surprises.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater arrives on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on August 28, 2025, marking a fresh chapter for the iconic series while honoring its legacy. Whether diving into Fox Hunt’s tense multiplayer or reliving Snake’s solo mission, players can expect a meticulously crafted revival of one of gaming’s most revered titles.
