The game is also now available for preorder. Fans will have the choice between a standard version, Tactical Edition, Digital Deluxe Edition, and the Collectors Edition. Tactical Edition is the main physical version of the game with the Sneaking DLC pack. Digital Deluxe Edition features the Sneaking DLC and 48-hour early access to the game. Collector’s Edition will include the contents of the Tactical Edition along with a Terrarium Diorama, a FOX patch, a HALO jump patch, and a metal case. Everything will be packaged in a special collector box.

Tactical Edition and the Collectors Edition are only available for the console versions of Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater.

Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater is a remake of the iconic game. It’s built using Unreal 5 while bringing back the original cast. A prequel to the series set during the Cold War, it follows Snake as he struggles to prevent a conflict between the U.S. and the USSR. His mission will shape the legend of Big Boss while laying the foundation for The Patriots’ rise.

Released in 2004 for the PlayStation 2, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater was the fifth game in the series. It is widely regarded as the best entry, a defining PS2 title, and one of the greatest games ever made for its gameplay and storytelling.
