The highly anticipated remake of MGS3, Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater, finally releases on Thursday, August 28, 2025. And if you've been counting down the days until Big Boss' return but haven't secured your pre-order yet, we have a top-notch deal for you. Fanatical is offering 25% off pre-orders of the Standard and Digital Deluxe Editions of Snake Eater right now, which could save you up to $20 / £20.
First announced during Sony's 2023 PlayStation Showcase,stealth game series. While it was the fifth mainline entry, it acts as a prequel, taking us back to the Cold War when Naked Snake (AKA Big Boss) was just a snakelet – well, a former green beret snakelet assigned to the CIA's FOX unit – tasked with saving a Soviet scientist from enemy territory. There's a lot more to it than that, but if you've not played this classic before, you're better off experiencing every beat for yourself.
While Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater doesn't seem to be deviating from the original story, the remake boasts improved graphics and 3D audio, along with other modern enhancements, like an alternative controller scheme and a new game mode. In PCGamesN's Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater preview, Jamie Hore called it a "visually stunning reimagining of MGS 3" and a "deeply faithful remake." In other words, Metal Gear Solid 3 fans will likely be very happy.
If you've not picked up your pre-order yet, you're in luck because this deal will save you some dough. Fanatical is offering 25% off the Standard Edition and the Deluxe Digital Edition of Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater.
