Update:In a new tweet, retailer GameStop has clarified that it didn’t leak the Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater release date after all.
Today, GameStop put out the tweet below, writing that a previous post “had an incorrect release date” for Metal Gear Solid 3’s forthcoming remake. This puts theKonamiremake back into the murky waters of release date speculation, with no release window on the cards at the time of writing.
The original article follows below.
Original:Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater might be launching on November 17 later this year, according to a now-deleted post from GameStop.
AsIGNfirst reported, GameStop’s official Twitter account tweeted yesterday, June 10, that the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake would be out later this year on November 17. Konami’s most recent promo for its remake, thenew action-packed Metal Gear Solid Delta trailerat last week’s Xbox Games Showcase, omitted a release date.
For what it’s worth, November 17 falls on a Sunday this year, and practically no game in the history of video games has been released on a weekend, let alone a Sunday. If Metal Gear Solid Delta does inexplicably release on November 17, though, it’ll actually fall on the 20th anniversary of the original Konami game launching. Dilemmas, dilemmas.
