Metal Gear Solid’s Naked Snake hits Delta Force on January 1
November 8, 2025Metal Gear Solid 3’s Naked Snake—voiced by the character’s original actor David Hayter—arrives in Delta Force on Jan. 1 as a new appearance option for the game’s stealth-assault character Nox.
The Metal Gear Solid collaboration with the free-to-play shooter starts with the new season, Ahsarah, which lands on Dec. 19 and culminates with the new appearance in the new year. Delta Force Game Director Shadow Guo said the idea of collaborating with Konami stemmed from the team’s longtime love of Metal Gear Solid.
“I myself am a big fan of the Metal Gear Solid franchise, like many developers from our team, because we grew up playing this series,” he said. “Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is one of my favorite installments, and METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER is such a wonderful way to revisit a classic.
“With Delta Force being an Operator-based tactical shooter, we feel the theme and genre of Metal Gear Solid is just right for our game, and offers a great opportunity for our team to deliver something really cool for both Delta Force and Metal Gear Solid players. So we talked with the KONAMI team and, boom, we have this collaboration!”
