Konami revealed during the Konami Press Start livestream on Thursday that Metal Gear Solid △: Snake Eater (△ is read as "Delta"), its remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, will feature a new online multiplayer mode called "Fox Hunt." Also, the "Secret Theater" will return. Instead of the "Snake vs. Monkey" mode, the Xbox Series X|S version will feature "Snake vs. Bomberman," a new collaboration with another Konami franchise. An updated trailer for the Xbox Series X|S version previews the collaboration:
The full livestream begins with Metal Gear Solid △: Snake Eater and features more footage of Fox Hunt with the mode's director Yu Sahara:
The PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam versions will include the "Snake vs. Monkey" minigame from the original.
The original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater game directed by Hideo Kojima debuted for PlayStation 2 in November 2004. There have since been remasters and versions of the game for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PlayStation Vita. The game received a Nintendo 3DS version in March 2011.
Most of the games in the Metal Gear Solid franchise follow Solid Snake, a special forces operative who slowly becomes involved in a global conspiracy. The first game in the series, released in 1998 on the PlayStation, sees him neutralizing a terrorist threat from a renegade special forces unit called Foxhound, who have taken hostages and seized control of a nuclear launch facility in Alaska.
Konami had announced in November 2021 that it was temporarily removing several games in the Metal Gear Solid franchise from digital stores including Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D, and Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.
Kojima's last Metal Gear title with Konami, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, launched for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC in September 2015. Konami sold more than six million copies of the game.
Metal Gear Survive is the first new Metal Gear console game to be announced since Kojima's departure from Konami. The game launched for PS4, Xbox One, and PC in February 2017.
