Konami’s upcoming remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is just 20 days away, but the game’s brand-new multiplayer mode won’t be ready on release.
Fox Hunt, the previously revealed new multiplayer option for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, will release later than the game’s single-player offering. Scheduled to release sometime in Fall 2025, the new mode will give players a never-before-seen MGS experience.
Metal Gear Solid Fox Hunt mode won’t release on launch
Described as a “thrilling hide-and-seek based, completely original online multiplayer” mode, Fox Hunt takes the assets from Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater to design a new, stealth-based PvP game.
Unlike the original game’s MGS Online mode, Delta’s multiplayer will focus entirely on survival with a heavy emphasis on using camouflage to blend into your environment.
Konami explains that the remake’s massive “graphical enhancements” will amplify “the tension of hide-and-seek to a whole new level”. In the mode’s reveal trailer, we saw just how effective camouflage can be and it does look like a very unique multiplayer mode, especially in the modern day.
In a recent post on social media, Konami explained that the game mode will not be launching day-and-date with Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Instead, the mode will launch sometime in the Fall period, but no specific release date has been given.
With Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater refusing to change pretty much anything from the original game, other than controls, it’s nice to see some creativity from the team behind the project. If anything, it gives us hope that maybe some original MGS projects can exist without series creator Hideo Kojima.
As a glorious return to the series, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater does look like a fantastic new way to experience the original. However, with Konami still scared to remake the very first MGS title, could an original game be next?
