Metal Gear Solid Delta’s Fox Hunt Multiplayer Arrives: Two Game Modes and 12-Player Mayhem

Fox Hunt, the long-promised online multiplayer for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, is finally live. If you’ve been waiting to take on rivals in Konami’s classic stealth world, your time starts now. Released as a free update, Fox Hunt throws up to 12 players into competitive and tactical chaos with two distinct game types.

Konami had teased Fox Hunt when Metal Gear Solid Delta launched back on August 28, but fans had to wait until now, late October, to see if this multiplayer push could live up to the series name. Players jumping back in can now access Fox Hunt at no extra cost.

Survival Capture: The Hunt for Kerotan Frogs

Survival Capture is all about the chase. Here, your mission is simple in theory, but tense in execution: find and secure as many Kerotan frogs as possible. These frogs are a staple easter egg for series veterans, and Konami leans into their reputation for mischief and elusiveness.

“The iconic Kerotan frogs continue their elusiveness in this tense game mode,” Konami says. No match plays out the same way. As rounds progress, the number of frogs on the map drops, which means every remaining one becomes a flashpoint. Expect climactic clashes as teams wrestle for control and try to snatch final points before the buzzer.

Survival Intrude: Stealth at Its Peak

If collecting frogs isn’t your speed, Survival Intrude flips the script and goes deep on stealth gameplay. The mission: survive and infiltrate through various zones, with everything riding on your ability to adapt and stay invisible. Every phase shrinks the playing area, forcing players into tighter, more dangerous spaces.

Everyone is kitted out with the AT-CAMO suit, a tool designed for hardcore stealth fans. This suit lets you instantly alter your camouflage to match your surroundings, keeping you hidden despite the pressure.

That’s not all. Players are given “Naked Sense,” a special ability to spot enemies and hidden items, think of it as a sixth sense for survival. The combination of shrinking zones, evolving camo, and player-detection twists up the tension to what you’d expect from the Metal Gear pedigree.

Konami calls the mode “a covert assignment where operatives must utilise stealth and survival elements in designated zones to progress through multiple phases.”

As with Capture, the shrinking zones keep everyone moving, planning, and second-guessing each other until the final seconds.

Delta’s Remake Status and What’s Next

It’s clear Fox Hunt is aiming to pull both new players and hardcore fans back into the action. Even before its arrival, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater earned attention as a careful remake, a way to bring the PS2 classic up to modern expectations.

Early reviews called Delta a “solid but safe remake”. According to VGC, “It’s a way to play the PS2 classic on modern hardware, with a fresh coat of paint and contemporary controls.” Anyone hoping for a radically different vision might walk away wanting more, but the core gameplay delivers something familiar and reliable, especially for those who love the evolution that MGS 5 brought to the table.

With Fox Hunt’s late-game arrival, the remake now feels like a more complete package. The new multiplayer mode is set to test stealth tactics and reflexes in a fresh way, pushing Snake Eater’s community to rethink old strategies or hunt for those elusive frogs all over again.
