We are only weeks away from the highly anticipated release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, scheduled for August 28. This game marks Konami’s notable effort to regain fan trust in a post-Kojima era.

However, bad news has emerged regarding the Fox Hunt multiplayer mode: it won’t have crossplay support across different platforms.

Konami announced this disappointing news via their Japanese account, stating, “Regarding the online multiplayer mode ‘Fox Hunt’ for Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater, cross-play between different platforms will not be supported.”

This decision raises significant questions, as many fans expected crossplay to be standard in modern multiplayer games. The absence of this feature is disheartening, especially when it comes to such a big franchise.

Public reactions to the announcement were overwhelmingly negative, reflecting widespread disappointment across the gaming community. It’s unclear why Konami made this decision, and we await further clarification from the company.
