MGS Delta: Snake Eater Retains Original's Suggestive Content, Rating Indicates

by Madison Apr 26,2025

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater retains the suggestive and sexual content from Metal Gear Solid 3, including the Peep Demo Theatre, as confirmed by an age rating.

Although developer Konami has not officially acknowledged the inclusion of this controversial content, the U.S. classification board, the ESRB, has given the stealth action game a Mature 17+ rating. This rating is attributed to the game's realistic gunfire, cries of pain, bloody combat, and the presence of "suggestive/sexual content."

In addition to describing the game's realistic combat and violence, the ESRB report states: "Cutscenes depict further instances of violence/blood: a restrained character beaten and electrocuted; a character shot in the eye; a character on fire shot several times."

Play"The game contains some suggestive/sexual content: 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 Theater, an unlockable feature in the Subsistence and HD Collection versions of the original Metal Gear Solid 3, allows Snake to manipulate the camera and zoom in during a cutscene where Eva appears in her underwear. This feature becomes available after completing the game four times.

Konami has confirmed that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be released on August 28. A new teaser trailer also revealed that the beloved Snake vs. Monkey minigame will be making a return.

In our Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater preview, IGN noted, "Metal Gear Solid Delta seems more like a very shiny HD remaster than the elegant remake it could have been." The preview highlighted the game's new first-person perspective, describing it as "an admittedly beautiful nostalgia trip, but almost faithful to a fault." The original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater received an impressive score of 9.6 from us.
