Metal Gear Solid Leaks for Switch 2

Well-known industry insider Nate the Hate has suggested that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater might be in development for the Nintendo Switch 2. Following Hideo Kojima's high-profile departure from Konami, fans of the series have been cautiously hopeful about this new entry. While some concerns remain, the revealed details continue to generate excitement, and the prospect of portable play on the Switch 2 could attract an even wider audience.

The gaming community is eagerly awaiting any news about the Nintendo Switch 2. Players are keen to understand Nintendo's roadmap for the coming years, especially given the company's silence regarding several of its major franchises. While expectations for Nintendo's own titles—such as new 3D Mario and The Legend of Zelda games, along with a Pokémon release—are considered safe bets, the technical capabilities of the Switch 2 remain a topic of speculation. Ambitious third-party titles like Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater were previously assumed to be too demanding for the system.

During a recent podcast discussing likely ports for the Nintendo Switch 2, Nate the Hate mentioned hearing rumors about Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater coming to the platform. He indicated the potential for a day-and-date release and noted that a significant portion of third-party developers are either planning or considering ports for the new system. According to Nate, beyond simply expanding their audience, these ports are viewed as opportunities to highlight the Switch 2's DLSS technology.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Rumored for Switch 2

Metal Gear Solid Delta is one of the most hotly anticipated releases, and its potential arrival on the Nintendo Switch 2 could significantly boost the console's early appeal. As a current-generation title with no announced plans for PS4 or Xbox One, the showcased footage suggests a visual quality on par with recent blockbusters like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. If the Switch 2 can successfully run this game alongside other major third-party releases, it may prove to be a more formidable competitor to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series systems than initially expected, despite Nintendo's historical tendency to lag in raw hardware power.

The inclusion of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater on the Nintendo Switch 2 could echo the "miracle port" legacy of its predecessor. Previous Switch versions of games like Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and NieR:Automata were widely praised and captured gamers' attention. Rumors of such ambitious ports hint that the Switch 2 may have several surprises in store to ensure a powerful and impressive launch lineup.
