Konami has confirmed that the online Fox Hunt mode for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be arriving post-launch later this year.

Over the last 10 years or so since Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain released, being a Metal Gear fan has meant suffering. So it's a bit surreal that after a decade of pachinko, Metal Gear Survive, and weird Bomberman cameos, we are actually back. Sure, it's not quite the Silent Hill treatment with those fans getting a remake and a new game a year apart, but Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is the first bit of hope Metal Gear has had in a decade.

Granted, this isn't completely unprecedented. Metal Gear Solid 5's MGO expansion released over a month later on consoles and four months later on PC, so it wouldn't be the first time a Metal Gear received its multiplayer post-launch. Hell, the original Metal Gear Online featured in Metal Gear Solid 3 wasn't included until the Subsistence release a year and change later – and you had to buy the game again, so a few months max doesn't seem too bad in comparison.
