Actor and writer David Hayter introduced new mechanics and graphical improvements coming to Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater in the latest installment of the Metal Gear Solid Legacy video series.

Hayter touched on key features such as the new damage system that leaves battle scars on the main character as players progress through the game.

A New Style control and camera layout also offer intuitive controls for players accustomed to modern third-person action games. Plus, Hayter sat down with Producer Noriaki Okamura who has worked on the Metal Gear Solid series for several decades to discuss the new title and the future of the franchise.
“We left the gameplay, the story, and the voice cast of the original game as-is, but we had to bring the graphics and controls up to modern standards, all of which has changed over the years,” producer Noriaki Okamura said. “All of that has been updated, but the core game – and the creative vision of the original staff – none of those parts of the game have changed.”

The physical Collector’s Edition of Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater is now available for pre-order in the Americas and Europe.


COLLECTOR’S EDITION ITEMS:

• The day one “Tactical Edition” of Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater
• Miniature terrarium based on the iconic opening scene of Virtuous Mission where Naked Snake must recover his backpack snagged on a tree branch. Includes miniature Naked Snake figurine and tree stump with hanging bag.
• A recreation of the fake identification badge Naked Snake uses to break into Groznyj Grad Northeast as a scientist.
• High-quality stitched patch showing membership in the legendary FOX UNIT.
• Unique rubber patch commemorating Naked Snake’s historic HALO parachute jump.
• Beautiful retro style metal game case utilizing original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater artwork.

TACTICAL EDITION:
The retail release of the day one “Tactical Edition” of Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater contains the full game plus additional unique digital items that will be announced at a later date.

Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater will be available for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).

[Bloobs]

Snake tank

 

[TGO]

In for the Deluxe when ever it goes up.
Nothing yet

 

[Draugoth]

Did it get a release date?

Not yet, but it probably wont take long

 

[A.Romero]

Where are they taking preorders?

 

[R6Rider]

FUCK. I need this.

 

[Bond007]

Need this.
In for Deluxe. Fortunately/Unfortunately have zero use for a terrarium. Lol

 

[Dacvak]

That terrarium looks super cool.

 

[rkofan87]

this year???

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

The CE is up now at Best Buy! Go go go!





Also up at Gamestop!

 

[Arsic]

I’d do the collectors if it was a digital code lol. I don’t have a physical ps5.

 

[Draugoth]

Collector's Edition is $200

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

This. thought I saw a Deluxe version announced

 

[R6Rider]

Already out of stock lol

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

This. thought I saw a Deluxe version announced

Apparently the Deluxe might be Europe & UK only.

 

[DeVeAn]

These collector's editions... Buncha junk that never leaves the box or has no real use. Game looks amazing though.

 

[Sleepwalker]

I like it but not $200 like it.

Cost them about $25 to make I bet.

 

[R6Rider]

I really wish more companies offered a Steel Book Edition for like 90 bucks. I'd buy lots of those.

 

[demigod]

CE looks like shit, pass. Will wait when it gets discounted like usual.

 

[Gambit2483]

Apparently the Deluxe might be Europe & UK only.

 

[Digity]

Nothing for Canada yet.

 

[dorkimoe]

I like it but not $200 like it.

thats literally all these CE's. They are cash grabs. I bet it was even cheaper than 25 to make

 

[touchfuzzy]

I really wish more companies offered a Steel Book Edition for like 90 bucks. I'd buy lots of those.

I know right, all I want to do is spend an extra like $10 on a tin case and a poster or whatever, not half the cost of a console on a bunch of crappy figurines and postcards and digital artbooks or whatever.

 

[Quantum253]

I like Best Buy, but don't care for pre-ordering at the full price. Maybe Game Stop spoiled that. It's a cool looking CE though

 

[nani17]

Didn't see this date leaked by gamestop

 

[RagnarokIV]

Day one, son. Every edition on every platform.

 

[VulcanRaven]

I saw this on Reddit:

 

[Northeastmonk]

The terrarium seems so uninspired? Maybe I’m wrong. It’s cool if you own an actual snake or want a snake. It’s like someone was inspired by Etsy. lol I’ll definitely get one of those editions. That thing would look so out of place. It’s better than them releasing some poorly made statue where the face looks like some Chinese rip off you got off eBay.

 

[Bond007]

Bummed the Deluxe is EU only. I will be in Spain two days after release though- so i may try looking for it there, maybe i get lucky.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

90 quid for the Deluxe.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Wild that it went so fast, but it's not surprising, haha. Regardless if you're into the collector's or not, I think it's still awesome to see physical collector's editions happen when they do.

 

[Bond007]

90 quid for the Deluxe.

Thanks preordered. Though...
Arriving 8 Jan 2026 - 12 Jan 2026


Lets hope that updates LOL

 

[Gambit2483]

90 quid for the Deluxe.

Saw this on Amazon.uk...couldn't bring myself to order considering the DLC probably won't work. That and I don't particularly like Pal game boxes, if there's a choice.

I'll wait to see what NA does for the Deluxe edition.

I find it very amusing that this board has been so vocal about hating the new $70 "standard" price

but then publishers say "what if we put your plastic disc in a metal case for $20 more?"

 

[R6Rider]

Yeah it's crazy how some people are willing to pay for something they want.

[Evil Calvin]

Lot of useless junk.

 

[adamsapple]

 

[BryceNobody]

So annoyed they’ve limited the deluxe edition to the UK and collector’s addition to the U.S. That deluxe edition has exactly what I want (FOX patch, steelbook, etc.) but wouldn’t be accessible to purchase/download DLC with. I don’t need or have the shelf space for a terrarium lol

 

[Badlucktroll]

I still can’t believe 2 major Konami games are coming out this fall

 

[hemo memo]

What a thrill

 

[RagnarokIV]

Pre ordered collector’s edition on PS5 and Xbox!

I’ll play the PC version first for max settings and resolution (7900 XTX with large OLED).

Then PS5 for platinum and finally Xbox.

Can not wait.

This is most likely 2025.

Did you really need 2 CEs? Lol

 

[Power Pro]

Lot of useless junk.

I'm starting to feel that way myself for a while. These days, the game coming in a physical form is the real collector's item.

 

[Gambit2483]

Eh, Tactical Edition? Is this a Target exclusive? It looks like a regular "Day 1 Edition" with some random preorder dlc stuff.

 

[Badlucktroll]

I’m thinking Konami puts David Hayter in charge of Metal Gear

 

[Gambit2483]

He's a spokesperson at most. Konami respects him as the "Western face of MGS" but that's probably as far as it goes...
