The Metal Gear Solid series has been able to carve out a unique identity for itself in part thanks to these traditions.

Giving anticipating Metal Gear fans on PC an important update, Konami released the minimum and recommended system requirements for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Those who want the best experience will need a CPU-GPU pair featuring an i7-8700K or a Ryzen 5 3600 along with an RTX 3080. When it comes to minimum requirements, the game needs a combination of at least an i5-8600 or a Ryzen 5 3600 in tandem with an RTX 2060 Super (8 GB). The specification sheet also suggests all users have at least 16 GB RAM and 100 GB of free storage, preferably on an SSD, in their system.

Apart from some new glimpses of the gameplay, the Metal Gear Solid Delta presentation at Sony’s digital event revealed the return of the Ape Escape-themed game mode from the original. While this particular offering is exclusive to the game’s PS5 and Steam versions, the Xbox Series X/S counterpart is confirmed to get its own exclusive mode, which looks set to feature Bomberman in it.

After a prolonged period of absence, Metal Gear is back on Konami’s agenda at last, to the delight of longtime fans. The forthcoming remake is slated to be the company’s second release under the Hideo Kojima-created IP in two years, post the roll-out of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1 in 2023. If the feedback-oriented updates shipped to the compilation game so far are anything to go by, fans may expect Konami to work as diligently for the Snake Eater remake’s launch as well.
