Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Drops Kojima's Theme

Konami has unveiled the opening video for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remake of the classic game. The iconic Bond-themed opening now features new vocals from Cynthia Harrell, who re-recorded the theme song while Kyle Cooper revamped the visuals, removing any credits that would note Hideo Kojima's involvement. This version not only maintains the essence of the original song but also showcases more gameplay footage with enhanced graphics. Metal Gear Solid Delta is set to launch on August 28, 2025, for PS5 and Steam, and will include the beloved Snake vs Monkey minigame. Although Kojima Productions is not involved in the remake, it aims to be a "doggedly faithful remake" according to early previews. In the meantime, Kojima is busy with his own projects, including Death Stranding 2.

The remake features a re-recorded version of the theme song and updated visuals that do not include any credits for the original creator Hideo Kojima. The remake also enhances gameplay footage and overall graphics, providing a modern take on the classic experience.

Originally released in 2004, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is often hailed as one of the best entries in the Metal Gear series, celebrated for its deep narrative, stealth gameplay, and cinematic presentation. The game is set during the Cold War and follows the character Naked Snake as he combats various threats while uncovering a conspiracy. The new remake aims to introduce this beloved classic to a younger generation of gamers who may not be familiar with the original title.
