Metal Gear Solid Fans, Mark Your Calendars For October 2026

Published Oct 3, 2026, 5:30 AM EDT Known as 'Cyberpunk 2077's' biggest fan, Angharad is a Welsh games writer who thrives in anything related to digital storytelling. If a video game explores the intricacies and horrors of womanhood, she is there. Thanks to previous work at GAMINGbible, GameByte, The Loadout, Game Luster, Angharad has built a strong understanding of both the digital world and what fans want from it and is eager to share her thoughts and expertise with readers. Released back in 2025 as a remake of 2004's Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was a return to form for the Metal Gear Solid franchise, marking the first major entry in the series since 2018's Metal Gear Survive. It may not have received the same amount of love as some of the classics, but considering that Konami Digital Entertainment took over the development of the game with help from Virtuos, it went on to receive relatively positive reviews, with the team choosing to remake Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater due to its important origin story of some of the franchise's most important characters. Here at Screen Rant, our very own Lee D'Amato scored Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater an impressive 8/10, with his review reading: By contrast, MGS Delta appears to acknowledge that the original MGS3 is a masterpiece, one of the finest achievements in video game history, and a significant evolutionary step forward in the stealth genre. It captures the essence of the original to a T, but fails to expand on it. As though they were restoring a painting, the remake’s developers almost seem afraid to damage it, as if to alter anything beneath its most superficial aspects would take something away from the original. The result makes Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater a gorgeous, even impressive, new version of MGS3 for the modern gamer, but ultimately an unnecessary imitation of a timeless classic. Now, just over a year since the launch of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and Forbidden Planet has surprised fans with a stunning upcoming figure that is available for pre-order now. The Metal Gear Solid: Delta: Snake Eater statue showcases Naked Snake in all his glory, standing tall at 20cm, crafted from PVC, and even arrives in a printed box complete with a base marked with the name of the game. Wearing his dark green tactical gear, with his iconic black bandana across his forehead, Naked Snake definitely looks the part, and at just £26.99, this statue is an affordable way to pay tribute to the game, and the franchise as a whole, without having to break the bank. Despite being available for pre-order now, the Metal Gear Solid: Delta: Snake Eater statue will not launch until 26 October, but with that just weeks away, you will not have to wait long to get your hands on it and showcase your love for this iteration of Snake and the Konami franchise as a whole. Despite the fact that Hideo Kojima has stepped away from the Metal Gear franchise, his work is far from over, and he takes his legacy with him with his next major release, Physint. Despite being a completely new IP, many believe Physint to be the spiritual successor to Metal Gear, offering players a true action-espionage game in turn.
