The release date was listed as August 28th on the game's PlayStation page. It has since been taken down and replaced with the vague "2025" but it still appears at the end of a trailer that leaked alongside the date. You can watch it by inspecting this mossy URL that looks a bit too human-shaped.

The release date for arguably one of the most anticipated games around has emerged, albeit in low-key fashion. According to an apparent leak on the PlayStation Store — perhaps about as official as you can get without a splashy announcement elsewhere — Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is set to arrive on August 28.

When information is leaked by nefarious means, companies open a firehose of takedown notices to try to regain control. It’s always a bit disappointing that they don’t do the same when the leak’s coming from inside the house.
