Konami has announced that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will feature an original online multiplayer mode called Fox Hunt. The multiplayer mode shares the same world as the game but will feature “completely different” gameplay. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will launch on August 28 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam. In the game, players “discover the origin story of iconic military operative Snake and begin to unravel the plot of the legendary Metal Gear series.”
Fox Hunt director Yu Sahara’s comments on the announcement in the Konami Press Start broadcast via Gematsu:
“Fox Hunt is a completely original online multiplayer mode. Though it shares the same world with Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the gameplay is completely different. When we say Metal Gear multiplayer, many fans will probably think of Metal Gear Online, but Fox Hunt will be its own, new type of mode.
We very much appreciate all the long-time fans of Metal Gear Online that always wanted to see it make a comeback, but the landscape of multiplayer games has changed a lot since Metal Gear Online. It took a lot of careful consideration to think about what a new online mode should look like.
Based on the iconic stealth and survival elements of the Metal Gear series, we’re taking camouflage and hide-and-go-seek to the next level. 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.
Those are all the details we can share with you for now, but we’re working hard on getting Fox Hunt to you all. We plan to have more news on Fox Hunt in the future, so please stay tuned.”
