Rumored Release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater for Nintendo Switch 2

The gaming community is buzzing with excitement as speculation mounts around Konami Digital Entertainment’s potential announcement regarding Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater launching on the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. This rumor adds to the growing intrigue surrounding the successor of the popular portable home console.

During a recent episode of the Nate the Hate podcast, an industry insider, known for his credibility, shed light on some of the third-party titles expected to join the Switch 2 lineup. Among these, he mentioned the highly-anticipated remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (you can catch this part of the discussion around the 44-minute mark).

Nate shared, “I’ve heard whispers about some third-party titles headed our way, like Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, which is slated for a 2025 release. At this point, there’s no firm date for all platforms, but I’m optimistic that we’ll see a simultaneous launch when it arrives on the Switch 2. If it does drop in the summer of 2025, there should be no reason it wouldn’t be available day-and-date.”

While rumors abound, Nintendo remains tight-lipped about specifics. What we do know officially is that they’ve committed to unveiling their next console before the close of March 2025, ensuring it will be backwards compatible with the current Switch console.

Adding fuel to the fire of anticipation, another rumor surfaced recently suggesting that the new Switch 2 hardware might break cover on Thursday, January 16. This could potentially be followed by a reveal of its software capabilities in late February or early March.

With Nintendo targeting a worldwide launch in 2025, the promise of these upcoming reveals keeps fans eagerly waiting to see what the future holds for one of gaming’s most beloved consoles.
