Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Introduces Fox Hunt Multiplayer Mode This October

Anticipation Builds for Fox Hunt in Metal Gear Solid Delta

In a highly anticipated announcement during the Metal Gear Production Hotline presentation at the Tokyo Game Show 2025, Konami confirmed the official release date for the much-anticipated Fox Hunt multiplayer mode. Players can expect to dive into this new experience on October 30, 2025.

What is Fox Hunt?

Fox Hunt, which was initially unveiled in June 2025, is designed to elevate the multiplayer experience in the recently released Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, which debuted in August. Prior to this announcement, fans were left wondering if the remake would include a multiplayer mode akin to the one featured in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. The answer is a firm no; instead, this fresh take on multiplayer mechanics signifies a new direction for the franchise.

A New Era of Stealth Gameplay

Unlike its predecessor, Fox Hunt aims to enrich the series’ core stealth gameplay. According to Konami, the mode encourages players to “broaden the franchise’s core stealth element where players must utilize their environments to camouflage and evade opposing players.”This approach suggests a significant evolution in how players interact with the game’s settings, fostering a more immersive experience.

While the innovative direction of Fox Hunt is promising, it is important to note that the mode will not feature crossplay support at launch—a decision confirmed by Konami shortly before the release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. The lack of crossplay has raised some concerns within the community, but players remain hopeful that this feature might be considered in future updates as demand grows.

Looking Forward

As we await the arrival of Fox Hunt, this development adds excitement to the Metal Gear franchise. Players are keen to experience how the revamped stealth mechanics translate into multiplayer scenarios when the mode goes live.

In related news, Konami is engaging its player base by conducting a survey at Tokyo Game Show 2025, allowing fans to voice their opinions on which MGS title should receive the modernization treatment similar to that of MGS3 with the Delta remake.
