Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater fans still haven’t got a release date for their beloved game. While Konami has apologised for its poor communication, fans have no idea when they can play the game.

However, merchandise tying into the popular stealth game remake is going forth. With Funko Pops be arriving imminently, fans will be able to nab toys of the game before the game has an actual release day.

Metal Gear Solid Delta merch releases soon

Despite being shown off with a 2024 release date, Konami has failed to keep fans in the loop. Nevertheless, Funko will be releasing two hyper-cute figures this week, modelled on the two main characters in the game – Naked Snake and The Boss. The former is sporting his trusty combat knife, while The Boss is holding her signature The Patriot weapon.

As per a post via DisTrackers, the two toy figures will be available from Amazon, Game Stop, Entertainment Earth and Hot Topic. While the toys will certainly go down well with some MGS fans, Konami is still being tight-lipped about when Delta will be actually be arriving.

To make matters worse, the Production Hotline, which gave MGS followers a chance to ask questions and check in on progress, has not been aired since the Tokyo Game Show special more than three months ago.

While no release date is confirmed, there are rumours the game will be launching in February 2025, although given the crowded game calendar, this is highly unlikely. VideoGamer has reached out to Konami for clarification following what looked like a leak from a retailer appearing to show the game’s release date.

The latest update on the game’s release came in the form of a more generic statement from Metal Gear Solid Delta producer Noriaki Okamura. Speaking to Japanese publication 4Gamer for their annual mass developer interview on what his ambition were for 2025, Okamura stated that: “Our top priority is to deliver a polished and high-quality Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater to our fans.”
