The PlayStation Store briefly did the announcing for [Konami](https://www.konami.com/games/eu/en/topics/18513/). On 6 February 2025, a listing and trailer appeared to identify 28 August as the release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. [Engadget](https://www.engadget.com/gaming/metal-gear-solid-delta-snake-eater-release-date-leaks-on-the-playstation-store-153046876.html) reported the discovery before the store reverted to a less specific release window.

A platform-owned store is stronger evidence than a retailer placeholder, but it is still not infallible. Listings can contain outdated information or go live before final approval. Engadget noted that the date had already been removed by publication. [Gamepressure](https://www.gamepressure.com/newsroom/metal-gear-solid-delta-snake-eater-release-date-may-have-leaked/zb78ff) and [Popverse](https://www.thepopverse.com/gaming-metal-gear-solid-delta-snake-eater-release-date-playstation-store-leak-state-of-play) also covered the accidental disclosure, helping establish that this was a visible storefront event rather than a screenshot with no traceable context.

The surrounding speculation concerned a possible imminent PlayStation presentation. That was a reasonable question to ask, not something the early listing alone proved. A date and a trailer do not tell readers who pressed publish, whether the timing was accidental, or whether the release schedule could still change.

Konami later made the relevant fact official: its announcement specified 28 August for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC. That is the basis for the confirmed badge. The important result is the match between the early store date and the company’s subsequent statement, not an assumption that everything displayed on a storefront is automatically final.

For players, the leak turned a vague wait for a remake into a concrete planning date. For the desk, it is a relatively clean verification case: a first-party distribution channel exposed information, multiple outlets recorded it, the listing changed, and the publisher later confirmed the core claim. We do not host the prematurely posted trailer or any game files. The links point to reporting and Konami’s public announcement, with a verified IGN X post showing how the story spread.
