Why That Release Date Might Not be Accurate
Usually, when a release date leaks from an official source like GameStop, it’s a pretty good indication that it’s authentic. However, there are a couple of reasons that should give people pause about this date. First of all, November 17th is a Sunday, which would be a pretty unusual day of the week for it to launch. More often, we see major games released on days like Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Sunday isn’t completely unheard of; Nintendo used to release a lot of games on Sundays before switching to Fridays and (more recently) Thursdays.
If that’s not unusual enough, there’s also the fact that Metal Gear Solid Delta would be launching just over a month after Silent Hill 2. Would Konami release the two biggest games it currently has in development within six weeks of one another? It’s hard to say, honestly. On one hand, the audience for these two games could be pretty different, but on the other hand, it would make sense if Konami spaced them out a bit.
Remaking a Classic
For now, Metal Gear Solid fans are just going to have to wait for word from Konami. From everything shown at Sunday’s Xbox event, it looks like the game is coming along pretty nicely. Some fans are worried about the game being developed without the involvement of Hideo Kojima, but that might not make much of a difference considering that this is a remake of an already beloved game, as opposed to a whole new entry. Everything Konami has shown so far looks very promising. Hopefully that continues up until the game’s launch, whenever that might happen!
