Throughout February 12’s State of Play, Konami confirmed an August 28 launch date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and teased that the Snake vs. Monkey crossover mode with Ape Escape would return on PS5. You’ll have missed that Xbox gamers shall be getting a unique crossover.
It seems to be like Xbox gamers can anticipate Snake to face off with Bomberman. Konami and Microsoft launched a devoted launch date trailer for the Xbox model of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater shortly after the State of Play. In lieu of the shot teasing the Ape Escape collaboration, the Xbox trailer as an alternative performs the long-lasting “alert” Metal Gear sound impact over an exclamation level. The sq. serving as the purpose on that punctuation then unfolds to disclose a cartoonish bomb, which then blows up and exhibits a camouflage model of Bomberman with the textual content “Snake vs. ???” overlayed.
Whereas Konami is not saying something extra about this particular mode presently, it is clear that it is a collaboration with one other one among Konami’s largest franchises. Bomberman predates Metal Gear, as Hudson Gentle created it in 1983. Konami has owned Bomberman because it acquired Hudson Gentle in 2011 and developed new video games within the collection, like Tremendous Bomberman R and its sequel.
The highest-down bomb-laying and maze-navigating gameplay of Bomberman is sort of completely different from the hardcore motion of Metal Gear, so we aren’t certain how Konami will mix the 2 gameplay types right into a particular mode simply but. The Ape Escape mode on PlayStation is anticipated to be just like the Snake vs. Monkey mode that appeared within the unique PS2 launch of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater launches for PC, PS5, and Xbox Collection X|S on August 28. It is now out there for preorder, with the $80 Digital Deluxe Version granted 48 hours of early entry to the sport.
