Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will start a 48-hour early access on Tuesday, August 26 for anyone who pre-ordered the digital deluxe edition, with the full release following on Thursday, August 28. Below, I list the regional launch times and what you get if you pre-order or grab the deluxe edition.
Over 20 years after the original, Konami and the remake team are bringing MGS3 back with updated controls, much sharper visuals, and a photomode for those who enjoy taking screenshots.

Pre-ordering the game nets you Snake’s white tuxedo outfit, while the digital deluxe edition includes the Sneaking DLC pack with a handful of extra uniforms, faces, and equipment items.
Sneaking DLC pack contents (digital deluxe):
- Uniform: Battle Dress (PW ver.)
- Uniform: Sneaking Suit (PW ver.)
- Uniform: Crocodile Suit
- Uniform: Naked (Woodland)
- Uniform: Naked (Ammunition Belt)
- Uniform: Gold
- Face: Glasses
- Face: Sunglasses
- Equipment: Kerotan Mask

Are any of these items actually valuable for stealth? Honestly, probably not – gold plating and frog masks are more for style than stealth, but hey, fashion choices are fun.
