As we suspected, but couldn’t say 100 percent for sure until now, Bomberman has been confirmed for the Xbox version of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.
Earlier today, Konami released an Xbox-specific trailer for its upcoming remake of the 2004 game. And, while those on PS5 and Steam versions of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be able to partake in a spot of ‘Snake vs Monkey’, where they have to capture the Pipo Monkeys, we now know Xbox users will instead square off with Bomberman.
“Snake vs Bomberman for Xbox Series X/S,” reads the trailer’s blurb. “Take control of Snake and face off with Bomberman in this special side mode. Blast ’em away in each stage!” You can have a watch below.

As well as this Bomberman confirmation, earlier today Konami also announced a “completely original” online multiplayer mode coming to Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, known as Fox Hunt.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was initially revealed back in 2023. It retains the 2004 original’s story – which follows Naked Snake on an operation deep within the Soviet jungle, some 31 years before the events of Metal Gear.
This remake has been done with future generations in mind, series producer Noriaki Okamura said in an interview last year. “It was basically our mission, our duty, to kind of continue making sure that the series lives on for future generations,” Okamura said. “After all, we leave behind much more than just DNA, as Solid Snake would say – but again, who is Solid Snake?”
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is scheduled for release on 28th August.
