Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will retain the suggestive and sexual content from Metal Gear Solid 3, including the controversial Peep Demo Theatre, as per an age rating by the ESRB. The stealth action game has been classified as Mature 17+ due to its realistic gunfire, cries of pain, bloody combat, and "suggestive/sexual content."
The ESRB rating details the game's intense combat and violence, noting scenes such as a restrained character being beaten and electrocuted, a character shot in the eye, and another set on fire and shot multiple times. Additionally, the ESRB highlights the suggestive and sexual elements, which include "a man groping a woman's breasts; close-up camera 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."
The Peep Demo Theatre is an unlockable feature from the Subsistence and HD Collection versions of the original Metal Gear Solid 3, which allows players to manipulate the camera during a specific cutscene featuring Eva in her underwear. To unlock this feature, players must complete the game four times.
Konami has officially announced that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will launch on August 28, and a new teaser trailer confirmed the return of the beloved Snake vs. Monkey minigame.
In our Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater preview, IGN described the game as "more like a very shiny HD remaster than the elegant remake it could have been," highlighting its beautiful yet faithful approach to nostalgia. The original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater received an impressive score of 9.6 from us.
