With Microsoft having held its first Xbox showcase of 2025 final month, it’s trying more and more doubtless Sony will quickly comply with go well with with certainly one of its personal State of Play shows.
Aside from the truth that Sony sometimes has one inside the first few months of the 12 months, one dependable insider has already claimed will probably be happening as early as subsequent week – presumably on Valentine’s Day (aka Friday).
Earlier at the moment although, Sony by chance shared a brand new trailer for Konami’s Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, which not solely confirmed a few key particulars however was clearly being saved for an even bigger showcase.
Said trailer was uploaded to the game’s PlayStation Store page alongside an up to date description, revealing an actual launch date for the long-awaited remake: August 25.
The trailer has since been eliminated and the web page now solely lists a obscure 2025 launch window, however you need to be capable of simply discover a re-upload if the place to look.
In addition, Sony’s leak gave away that the remake will retain the unique Snake Eater’s Snake vs. Monkey mode, which served as a crossover with Sony’s Ape Escape sequence – the place Snake has to search out and seize the titular apes.
