KONAMI has officially revealed that Fox Hunt, the long-awaited multiplayer mode for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, will arrive this Fall. While the announcement stirred excitement among fans of the franchise, there’s also some disappointing news – the Japanese official account confirmed there will be no crossplay. 
For a post-launch multiplayer mode, that’s a risky move, as it could split the already limited player base.
Fox Hunt draws heavy inspiration from the beloved Metal Gear Online experience, adapting its iconic Sneaking rule into a tense hide-and-seek battle that blends camouflage, survival mechanics, and updated visuals. The mode aims to amplify the cat-and-mouse tension that defined the series’ online legacy, now powered by modern graphical upgrades.
Still, Fox Hunt is ultimately a bonus – the main attraction is the full remake of Metal Gear Solid 3. Developed with Virtuos using Unreal Engine 5, MGS Delta promises quality-of-life improvements like a modern control scheme, while keeping the core gameplay untouched. The remake launches in just two weeks for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, giving fans a fresh chance to see if Snake’s classic mission still holds up.
As for Fox Hunt’s no-crossplay limitation, some players worry it could lead to fragmented lobbies – PS5 may dominate in player numbers, Xbox could see fewer matches, and PC may face the usual plague of cheaters. Whether the mode thrives or fades will depend on how many players stick around after the initial hype.
