Konami has showcased how the injury treatment mechanics will function in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. Unlike modern shooters, the game won’t feature automatic health regeneration. Even minor injuries, like a scratch on Naked Snake’s hand, will require specific resources and several steps to heal properly.

This return to survival-style gameplay mirrors the original’s immersive systems, with the new feature of leaving permanent scars after healing. Konami emphasizes that every wound carries a consequence, not only affecting gameplay but also the visual appearance of the protagonist throughout the mission.

Previously, the developers detailed improvements to the camouflage system. As players crawl through mud or foliage, Snake’s uniform will accumulate visible grime, leaf debris, and even tear marks or bullet holes during firefights. These elements contribute to the game’s immersive realism.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is set to release on August 28, 2025. Built in Unreal Engine 5, it promises stunning modern visuals while preserving the original voice cast, including David Hayter. With PC specs already revealed, fans can start preparing for a gritty return to the jungle.
