Konami has released the opening cinematic for Metal Gear Solid Delta, which features a new recording of the iconic Snake Eater theme performed by the original singer Cynthia Harrell.

The details:

  • Ahead of the MGS Delta's release later this year, Konami has released a new opening video that recreates the original MGS3 version and includes various clips of notable events and characters from the game. The spoiler-filled opening has been created by Kyle Cooper, and Konami says the version in the full game will also include staff credits.

  • More notably, the video features a brand new version of MGS3's iconic Bond-like Snake Eater theme song. The re-recording is performed by the original vocalist Cynthia Harrell, which features a slight twist on the composition and some impressive vocals given that the original song was recorded over 20 years ago.

  • MGS Delta is a full remake of 2004's MGS3 that is set to launch on August 28, with the beloved stealth title updated both visually and mechanically for a modern audience. Last year, creative producer Yuji Korekado explained that the game's new MGS V-style over-the-shoulder camera option will function similarly to a difficulty toggle due to easier shooting and movement, while the original "Legacy Style" camera will provide players with a more traditional experience.
