A Reunion of Legends: “Metal Gear Solid Delta” Brings Back a PS2 Minigame, Reimagined by PlatinumGames

In a move that will delight fans of both classic Konami titles and modern action games, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is bringing back a fan-favorite minigame that has been absent from the series for years. The “Guy Savage” or “Snake’s Nightmare” minigame, a bizarre, hack-and-slash easter egg that was hidden in the original PS2 release of Metal Gear Solid 3, is making a return in a completely new and reimagined form. But the most exciting part? The new version has been developed by none other than PlatinumGames, the studio behind the legendary action game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. This unexpected collaboration is a testament to Konami’s commitment to giving fans what they want while also creating a game that feels fresh and new.

The Return of “Guy Savage Delta”

The original “Guy Savage” minigame was a short, surreal, and incredibly weird experience. It was a proof-of-concept for a cancelled game that was part of the Zone of the Enders franchise, and it was a hidden gem that many players never even knew existed. In the original, if you saved the game after the torture scene at Groznyj Grad and then reloaded your save, you would be dropped into a surreal, monochrome world where you would fight waves of zombie-like enemies with a pair of hook swords. It was a strange and jarring departure from the rest of the game, and it was an easter egg that made the game a true masterpiece. In Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the minigame has been completely remade by PlatinumGames, and it’s a sight to behold. The new version, now called “Guy Savage Delta,” features a more vibrant, high-fidelity art style and a fluid, fast-paced combat system that is clearly a product of PlatinumGames’s unique style. The new minigame feels like a mix of Bayonetta and Bloodborne, with a focus on quick, satisfying combat and a surreal, dream-like atmosphere. It’s not just a simple remake; it’s a full-on love letter to the original minigame and to the action genre itself.

• A Reimagined Classic: The new “Guy Savage Delta” minigame is a full-on remake of the original PS2 easter egg.
• A New Kind of Combat: The combat system is a new and exciting departure from the original, with a focus on fast-paced, fluid action.
• A PlatinumGames Production: The minigame was developed by the legendary studio, bringing their signature style and expertise to the franchise once again.

More Than Just a Remake: A Legacy

The collaboration between Konami and PlatinumGames is a significant one. The two companies previously worked together on Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, a spin-off that was met with critical acclaim and a devoted cult following. The return of PlatinumGames to the Metal Gear franchise is a clear sign that Konami is serious about the series’ future, and that they are willing to work with some of the best developers in the industry to make that happen. The addition of a fully-fledged, PlatinumGames-developed minigame is a small detail, but it’s a detail that speaks volumes. It shows that Konami is not just focused on a simple, one-to-one remake; they are focused on creating a game that is a worthy successor to one of the most beloved titles of all time. It is a sign that they are listening to the fans, and they are willing to go the extra mile to give them the experience they have been waiting for. With Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater releasing on August 28, 2025, fans can finally get their hands on a game that is not just a remake but a true return to form for the franchise.

The return of “Guy Savage” is a pleasant surprise, a bizarre and beautiful reunion of two of the most iconic names in gaming. It’s a testament to the power of a simple idea, and a clear sign that the future of the Metal Gear franchise is looking brighter than ever.
