Watch: 'Metal Gear Solid Delta' introduces Fox Hunt multiplayer mode
June 12 (UPI) -- Konami announced Thursday that a new multiplayer mode titled Fox Hunt is coming to Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Konami showcased Fox Hunt and other new features coming to the game during the company's Press Start livestream event. Fox Hunt is an original online battle mode and is not related to 2008's Metal Gear Online. The mode sees players compete in a heightened game of hide and seek with items available to completely camouflage characters within the game's jungle setting. "We challenged ourselves to make something unique that is more than just a shootout. We've used that back-and-forth tension of staying hidden or searching out the enemy to create an online experience unique to Metal Gear," Fox Hunt mode director Yu Sahara said. Konami also showcased the game's Bomberman crossover mode that is coming exclusively to Xbox. The mode has players tracking down Bomberman and his friends within the jungle. Players can also enjoy classic Bomberman gameplay using Metal Gear protagonist Snake. PlayStation gamers will have access to an Ape Escape crossover mode. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a remake of 2004 classic Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater from acclaimed developer Hideo Kojima. The title is a prequel to the rest of the Metal Gear Solid series. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S and PC on August 28.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Is Getting An All New Multiplayer Mode Over 20 Years Later
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater isn't just a 4K remake of the original PlayStation 2 game, it turns out. The Unreal Engine 5 upgrade of MSG 3 is also getting some entirely new content, including a multiplayer mode called Fox Hunt. Revealed during a Konami Press Start showcase on Thursday, Fox Hunt takes place online in the same world as the single-player story but with different gameplay. Mode director Yu Sahara, who's worked on Metal Gear in the past, distinguished it from Metal Gear Online, a multiplayer spin-off of Metal Gear Solid 4 that featured tactical stealth takes on traditional scenarios like team deathmatch and capture the flag. 'The landscape of multiplayer games has changed a lot,' he said during the livestream. Indeed it has, but the most appealing about Metal Gear getting multiplayer again is how old-school it might end up feeling compared to the current glut of extraction shooters, battle royales,and battle passes. Here's a quick teaser from the showcase: Instead of bringing that back, Sahara and the team at Konami worked on updating what Metal Gear Online might look like decades later. The focus will still be on camouflage and staying hidden before choosing the right time to go after an objective or surprise an opponent, and footage in a brief teaser showed characters getting into what look like small D-Walker-type mechs on the battlefield. Also lots of operatives crawling around in leaf shrouds. Konami didn't have anything else to reveal about the mode other than it will be arriving with the rest of Metal Gear Solid Delta at launch on August 28. In addition to Fox Hunt, the remake also features a Snake vs. Bomberman mode and one where he has to round-up monkeys from Ape Escape. Despite the new content, however, much of the base game appears to be an exceedingly faithful retread of the 2000s-era stealth thriller, just with modern controls and other tweaks to make it more approachable for new audiences. The original is still available to play as part of the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection released back in 2023. . For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
