What was shown at Konami Press Start: Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Silent Hill f and a new part of the series from Bloober Team

On June 12, the Press Start conference was held, which is dedicated to games from the Konami publishing house. It featured both expensive blockbusters and reissues of classics on current devices. We told you about all the most interesting things that were shown at the Japanese corporation's show in this article.

The main focus was not on the main story, but on additional modes.

The remake will return the Secret Theater function, which first appeared in the original Metal Gear Solid 3. Thanks to it, some cutscenes will be replaced with alternative ones, which can be called funny. It is recommended to first complete the main game, and only then experiment with the videos.

Fox Hunt is a multiplayer mode of Metal Gear Solid Delta. According to the developers, they are completely different from the already familiar Metal Gear Online. In the future game, the main focus is on camouflage, which allows you to blend in with the ground, grass and other surfaces. It is really difficult to spot an enemy in such conditions.

In addition, the remake will include Snake's battles with other characters from Konami games. On PS5 and PC, players will find a crossover with Ape Escape, on Xbox Series — a collaboration with Bomberman.

Frankly speaking, such entertainment seems purely secondary. Metal Gear Solid 3 is, first of all, a game with an amazing plot, colorful characters, references to real history and an unexpected ending. Therefore, it is much more important that the new developers can transfer all the ideas of Hideo Kojima without major changes and improvisations. Let's remember that the "genius" has nothing to do with the re-release of the classics, because he left Konami almost 10 years ago.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is set to be released on August 28.

As part of the Press Start presentation, Silent Hill producer Motoi Okamoto spoke. He said that the series initially combined features of Japanese and Western approaches to horror, but over time, almost nothing remained of the influence of the culture of the Land of the Rising Sun. This is the pure truth, if you remember Homecoming and Downpour. It was decided to make a 100% Japanese horror game, so Konami turned to the Asian studio Neobards Entertainment, whose offices are located in Hong Kong, Taiwan and China. Previously, it collaborated with Capcom on separate parts of Resident Evil and Devil May Cry.

It is stated that the developers want to recreate the spirit of the first Silent Hill. However, in terms of videos and setting, the new part is closer to Japanese horror films and Fatal Frame than to the stories about Harry Mason and his adopted daughter Cheryl. The action will take place in Japan in the 60s, and the main theme of the game is a combination of beauty and horror. At the same time, we are again offered to fight creepy surreal monsters. For example, among the enemies there are a bunch of dolls with different bodies and heads, which move by jumping on one leg.

Silent Hill f will be released on September 25, 2025

Darwin's Paradox! is a 2D platformer with separate 3D levels, which is being created by the French team ZDT Studio. This is the debut project of the studio, which is headed by Romuald Capron, the former head of Arkane Lyon. The game features levels familiar to the genre, underwater locations, stealth elements in the spirit of Little Nightmares and dynamic episodes where you need to run away from the enemy or dodge cars on the highway. The octopus protagonist's behavior is vaguely reminiscent of Earthworm Jim from the Earthworm Jim series. The game's release date has not yet been announced.

A new part of the Suikoden series, which will first be released on mobile phones and later on PC. Its gameplay and appearance are reminiscent of the classic turn-based jRPGs of the 90s. Fans of the genre may want to pay attention, but it is unlikely to interest everyone else. In addition, it was announced that remaster of the first two Suikoden will appear on Nintendo Switch 2.

A game based on the manga and anime series Edens Zero. Its action takes place in the distant future and is dedicated to the adventures of Shiki Granbell, who conquers space on a starship. He visits a variety of planets and dreams of meeting a goddess known as Mother. In this universe, science fiction and fantasy are combined, for example, all technologies operate on the basis of ether, a powerful source of magical energy. The game itself is a lively action game with graphics in the style of Japanese animation. It will be released on July 15 on home consoles and PC, and the demo version is available today.

Gradius Origins is a collection of classic scrolling shooters that were released from 1985 to 1996. It includes the first three parts of the Gradius series, the spin-off dilogy Salamander and Life Force. In addition, the anthology will include a completely new game, Salamander 3. As with Suikoden, it is aimed exclusively at fans of the genre. The release will take place on August 7.

At the end of the presentation, it was officially announced that Bloober Team, the authors of the remake of Silent Hill 2, are working on a new game in the series. At the same time, the main theme of the first part itself, written by Akira Yamaoka, was heard in the background. We assume that this is what they plan to transfer to modern technologies.
