MGS Delta: Snake Eater, the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3, is not going to launch with its planned multiplayer mode, Fox Hunt. This new online component will differ from previous iterations, such as Metal Gear Online, and should come within a few months after release.
Though Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is still aiming to release worldwide and on all major platforms on Aug. 28, its online component, called Fox Hunt, will be put off for a few months. According to IGN, Konami did not specify when exactly Fox Hunt is to be added to MGS Delta, but said it’ll be this Fall, i.e., between September and December.
As opposed to previous online Metal Gear modes, such as Metal Gear Online that came with Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Fox Hunt is a unique and specially designed mode tied solely to this new Metal Gear title. As Yu Sahara, a long-time Metal Gear Solid developer, told IGN, Fox Hunt is “a completely original” mode with “completely different” gameplay to MGS Delta: Snake Eater.
He added that Fox Hunt will be focused on survival and stealth and be “more than just a shootout,” explaining the mode should take “camouflage and hide and go seek to the next level.”
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a remake of the 2004 classic stealth-action game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, directed by the one and only Hideo Kojima. It aims to maintain the original’s core design philosophy and stick as closely to it as possible while expanding mechanics and introducing waves of quality-of-life improvements, among other things.
It is slated for release on Aug. 28, though unfortunately without its multiplayer component.
