Konami has announced the date that the multiplayer mode Fox Hunt will be coming to Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, and it’s October 30th.
The publisher explains that Fox Hunt is “a brand-new online multiplayer mode, dropping players into the series’ iconic jungle stealth action setting. Engage in high-stakes, cat-and-mouse encounters that blend survival tactics with the signature sneaking mechanics that define the Metal Gear experience.”
This new mode will be released via a free update for the PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 versions of the game, and was announced as part of the Metal Gear Production Hotline presentation, during Konami’s Tokyo Game Show 2025 stage event.
Here’s some of the key features for Fox Hunt:
- Survive until the end: Join the covert unit ‘FOX’ as a candidate member and participate in survival-style training missions. Survive by procuring weapons and equipment in the field.
Two types of game modes will be included for up to 12 players.
- Survival Capture: A tense, multi-phase mission where victory hinges on capturing the elusive Kerotan frogs. Their numbers dwindle as the match progresses, forcing players into intense clashes as they race to secure each from and outlast their opponents.
- Survival Intrude: A high-pressure mission where players must hold their ground inside a designated zone to progress through each phase. As the match advances, the number of zones shrinks, making stealth and positioning even more critical.
In our review of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Chris said: “For those who never played the original, this is a perfect remake in the sense little has changed. The gameplay adjustments make Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater a must-play. It looks incredible in every way. The cutscenes make it feel as though you’re playing through a movie, and it’s amazing to think this game originally came out so long ago. For purists, a lot of it remains unchanged. This is going to either be a blessing or a curse, but one thing is clear, Snake Eater is one of the most important video games of all time.”
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is coming on August 28th to Xbox Series S|X, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
