1 million copies? Konami’s remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, has sold a million copies worldwide.
The sales number is derived from publisher Konami’s internal tracking as of August 28, that’s the launch day for MGS Delta. So that’s a million copies sold on day-1 alone.
The remake of the 2004’s spectacular stealth-action game arrived about 10 years since the last mainline Metal Gear Solid game. After the launch of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and the cancellation of a Silent Hill game teased via the famous demo P.T., MGS creator Hideo Kojima parted ways with Konami (and since produced the Death Stranding series, a sequel just released earlier this year), and the publisher didn’t pursue production of big-budget video games for a long while.
10 years later, there’s a new version of Snake Eater, utilising modern-day graphics, that isn’t bound to a pachinko machine a new Silent Hill game is releasing soon after.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater faithfully recreated every quirk and feature from the original, with the option to play with the controls of the original PS2 release (“Legacy Style” controls”) as opposed to the modern control scheme utilising a third person camera (“New Style”).
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is out now on PS5, PC (Steam) and Xbox Series X|S.
