Here’s a quick rundown of the biggest reveals from the event: a new multiplayer mode for the highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid remake, updates on the spooky Silent Hill series, and a look at several other interesting projects.
Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater Gets Stealthy Multiplayer
Kicking off the show was the highly anticipated METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER remaster. With its release just two months away on August 28, Konami dropped a major surprise: a brand-new online multiplayer experience called “Fox Hunt.” While it shares the world of Snake Eater, this mode promises a different kind of gameplay centered around the series’ signature stealth mechanics. It’s described as a unique take on multiplayer, focusing on outsmarting opponents with cunning and stealth rather than just firepower.
On top of the new multiplayer, Konami also confirmed the return of fan-favorite bonus content from the original PS2 game, like the quirky “Snake vs. Monkey” missions. It seems developer Virtuos is really aiming to pack this remaster with value.
Diving into Darwin’s Paradox
Next up was the debut title from ZDT Studios, and it’s quite a unique one: Darwin’s Paradox, a stealth game where you play as an octopus! You take on the role of Darwin, an octopus who gets kidnapped from his peaceful ocean home and thrust into a bizarre world controlled by a sinister corporation called UFOOD INC. It’s up to you, using Darwin’s eight versatile arms and natural camouflage, to uncover their plot for world domination. This looks like a fresh and intriguing take on the stealth genre.
If you’re curious about controlling a stealthy mollusk, Darwin’s Paradox! is available to wishlist on Steam right now.
