Metal Gear Solid Delta Updates Original Game's Bikini Posters with Recent Photos of the Same Ladies, a 21-year Progression

The much-anticipated remake of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, announced on August 22, 2025, brings a host of exciting changes for fans of the iconic stealth action game.

One of the most noticeable updates is the inclusion of real-life bikini model posters in the game's levels. In this remake, these posters have been updated with new photos of the models as they look now, 21 years later. Notable among them is Yumi Kikuchi, an original gravure model who posed again in swimsuits and revealing costumes for the remake. Some of the new images remain a bit suggestive, while others are downright wholesome family photos, reflecting the passage of time since the original game's release in 2004.

For those who appreciate the nostalgia of the original game, fear not! The remake offers two play styles to cater to different preferences. In Legacy Style, the old posters are upscaled to look more detailed at modern resolutions. On the other hand, New Style displays new photos of the models instead of the original posters.

In addition to the updated posters and play styles, the Metal Gear Solid Delta remake also includes the old PSP codes and a brand-new version of the old Guy Savage minigame. Despite these changes, no new Easter eggs are mentioned for the remake.

For new players joining the Metal Gear Solid series, the best MGS game to start with in Metal Gear Solid Delta is not specified in the provided information. However, the game is designed to be beginner-friendly, making it an excellent starting point for those new to the series.

Konami reached out to the original game's models and asked for new photos of themselves looking their best, ensuring that the remake remains faithful to the original while offering a fresh and updated look. The Metal Gear Solid Delta remake is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the series, offering a blend of nostalgia and innovation for both old and new fans alike.
