Snake’s most famous origin story returns on PS5 with Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a modern take on Konami’s stealth classic from the wider Metal Gear series. It sits alongside other big narrative action games, but its focus is slower, tenser infiltration where sound, sightlines and survival all matter as much as gunplay. The D1 Edition is the launch version for players who want to jump in from day one.

Who is this for?

If you like cinematic storytelling, boss fights with personality, and stealth that rewards patience, this is the one to watch. Expect a Cold War setting, jungle infiltration and a tone that mixes serious espionage with the series’ oddball humour. If you bounced off modern open world checklists, the more directed mission structure may suit you better.
