The ESRB rating for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has appeared online, revealing that players will have access to a ‘peep demo theatre’ like in the original game, where you can view cutscenes of female characters’ body for your, erm, enjoyment.
The rating description can be seen below, and confirms what you’d expect from a remake of MGS3, with realistic depictions of various combat situations involving gunfire and close quarters kills. It also mentions a restrained character beaten and electrocuted, which should be familiar to anyone who has played the original game.
This is an action game in which players assume the role of an elite soldier trying to stop special forces behind enemy lines. From a third-person perspective, players infiltrate areas, complete missions, and take down enemy soldiers. Players use knives, pistols, machine guns, and explosives to kill enemies. Combat is highlighted by realistic gunfire, cries of pain, and blood-splatter effects. Some close-quarter combat allows players to slit enemies’ throats, resulting in large spurts of blood.

The game contains some suggestive/sexual content: a man groping a woman’s breasts; close-up cameras angles of deep cleavage; a character briefly groping a man’s crotch; a Peep Demo Theatre allowing players to view cutscenes of a female character’s body from a first-person perspective.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is scheduled for release on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S on August 28, 2025. Among the new features include a highly detailed damage system that depicts real-time wounds on Snake’s body, as well as clothing deterioration.
The original voice acting returns albeit told with high-resolution cutscenes and new character models, while the game also offers the choice of a modern of classic control scheme. As with the original 2004 stealth masterpiece, MGS Delta Snake Eater takes place during the Cold War in the 1960s, and sees Naked Snake (David Hayter) infiltrating a Russia complex to rescue a nuclear scientist.
