Konami has released the intro video for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remake of the iconic Bond-theme opening from the original game.
Singer Cynthia Harrell has re-recorded the theme song Snake Eater, while Kyle Cooper has re-done the visuals to match the revised main game.
While the song is essentially the same, the visuals are changed. The description states the staff credits will be included in the in-game version.

In the PS2 original the song comes after the initial prologue section as a credits sequence – just as you’d expect in a Bond film.
The new version has altered visuals in a similar style, but includes more gameplay footage, giving us another look at the improved graphics.
Before Snake Eater, Harrell also sang the theme song I Am The Wind for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Steam on 28th August, complete with the Snake vs Monkey minigame.
Back in 2023, Konami confirmed Kojima Productions was not involved in the Snake Eater remake. Instead it’s been developed by Konami and Virtuos. Kojima and Konami infamously had a falling out, with Kojima leaving the company after Metal Gear Solid 5 to start his own studio.
Still, the game is a “doggedly faithful remake”, reads our Eurogamer Metal Gear Solid Delta preview.
Kojima himself is busy with Death Stranding 2, which releases next month, putting the two games somewhat in competition over the summer. He’ll then be working on his own new espionage game, Physint, but don’t expect it out for another few years.
