Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a long-awaited remake, and the game's release date may arrive sooner than expected, if a recent leak is to be believed. There have been plenty of rumors about Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, but this most recent one claims that the highly-anticipated rework of Metal Gear Solid 3 could be launching sometime in February.
The leak has been making its rounds on Reddit, specifically on r/GamingLeaksAndRumors. A post from user AngieK22 provides a breakdown of the supposed evidence that comes from a Chilean game store called Todo Juegos. Not only has the game store posted on its own Instagram, claiming a February release is confirmed, but Reddit user lobofiero030 has also claimed that this retailer has been accepting reservations for the title. Many have been wondering about the release target for Metal Gear Solid Delta, making these reported leaks quite compelling. These claims should be met with heavy skepticism, but if true, then Metal Gear Solid Delta may want to take a stealthy approach with its launch.

Ahead of the release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, developers share what players can expect from the game's difficulty settings.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater's Rumored Release Date May Benefit Better From a Surprise Drop
While these rumors are exciting, if true, it also puts Metal Gear Solid Delta in a sea of major competitors, as February 2025 looks to be an insanely stacked month for gaming. This month alone is kicking off 2025 with a bang, and the newfound hype surrounding Metal Gear Solid Delta's release rumors may be enough to prop up the game's release instead of Konami making a pre-launch announcement. Riding this fresh wave of excitement has reignited discussion about the game, which gives Konami the perfect opportunity to stealth-drop in the middle of a crowded month.
So many titles are already being pushed and marketed for February, making a surprise unannounced release a strong way to rock the boat. Not only would a stealth-drop be completely on brand for Metal Gear Solid Delta, but the excitement would give it a leg up on the other games potentially releasing around it, since the frenzy could possibly overshadow some fellow launches.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was announced on May 24, 2023, at PlayStation Showcase 2023.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Still Awaits Official Confirmation
No matter how convincing this recent leak may seem, it could still turn out to be false information. It's important to take these types of claims with a grain of salt before getting official confirmation, but it will be fascinating to see if they are accurate. It would be a bold move for Konami to launch such a highly-anticipated remake in a month as busy as February. There is a lot of excitement about Metal Gear Solid Delta showing its original version in a new light, but only time will tell if it's actually slated for an unexpected launch.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is scheduled to release for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
If these rumors prove true, it will also raise questions about why so many publishers have chosen to launch in February. Competition can be fun, but so many high-profile games releasing within weeks of each other also pose a risk to sales. It feels unlikely that Konami would shadow drop one of its most anticipated games, but there is always room for surprises. As anticipation grows for Metal Gear Solid Delta, it will soon be clear whether the game launches in February or not.
