New Features:
A nightmare game hidden deep within the main story experience returns in collaboration with PlatinumGames. Snake’s GUY SAVAGE Δ nightmare sequence was originally featured in the 2004 release of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater as a playable easter egg. PlatinumGames has reawakened the nightmare game that can be unlocked during the main story mode or after the entire story mode is completed.
METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER brings back a fan-favorite special game for PlayStation®5 and Steam® players. Snake must scavenge the jungle in search of the escaped apes in SNAKE VS MONKEY. A similar experience is available for Xbox Series X|S players featuring an explosive twist. SNAKE VS BOMBERMAN crosses over the tactical stealth action of the Metal Gear Solid series with the chaotic gameplay of the Bomberman series.
Additionally, an original multiplayer online mode will be added to the game later this fall. FOX HUNT is set in the same world as the main story. This new mode makes use of stealth and survival elements to deliver exciting hide-and-seek style, back-and-forth gameplay action.
