Metal Gear Solid Delta’s New Online Multiplayer Mode Won’t Support Cross-Play

A new hide-and-seek online multiplayer mode called Fox Hunt for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will have a pretty big drawback: no cross-play support. That means players can’t face off unless they’re on the same platform. The remake of the PlayStation 2 classic is slated for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Konami confirmed the lack of cross-play for Metal Gear Solid Delta on X, with GameSpot verifying the translation. While the game launches later this month, Fox Hunt isn’t set to arrive until this fall. The multiplayer mode will share elements with 2008’s Metal Gear Online but is completely original.

Fox Hunt won’t be the only additional activity alongside the main campaign. Metal Gear Solid Delta will also feature Snake Vs. Monkey on PC and PS5 (which was part of the original Metal Gear Solid 3) and Snake Vs. Bomberman on Xbox Series X|S (which is a new mode). The game is set to come out August 28, with the collector’s edition recently restocked.

Last month, Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima was asked whether he would check out the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake. The question apparently made Kojima laugh, before he replied with: “No, I won’t.” Kojima left Konami in a highly discussed split in 2015 after working there for almost three decades.
