METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER Out Now

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. (KONAMI) today announced METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER is now available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam®. METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER, a faithful remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater originally released in 2004 for the PlayStation®2, introduces a new generation of players and loyal fans alike to the very beginning of the Metal Gear saga.

FOX operative codenamed Naked Snake is deployed deep behind enemy lines to prevent a nuclear conflict between global superpowers at the height of the Cold War. His mission quickly devolves into a struggle for survival in a harsh and unforgiving environment where Snake must face the ultimate test. The remake stars the original voice characters, a rich storyline and expansive features of combat survival evolved with unprecedented graphics and immersive sound.

Watch the launch trailer here:

New Features:

A nightmare game hidden deep within the main story experience returns in collaboration with PlatinumGames. Snake’s GUY SAVAGE Δ nightmare sequence was originally featured in the 2004 release of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater as a playable easter egg. PlatinumGames has reawakened the nightmare that can be unlocked during the main story mode or after the entire story mode is completed.

METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER brings back a fan-favorite special game for PlayStation®5 and Steam® players. Snake must scavenge the jungle in search of the escaped apes in SNAKE VS MONKEY. A similar experience is available for Xbox Series X|S players featuring an explosive twist. SNAKE VS BOMBERMAN crosses over the tactical stealth action of the Metal Gear Solid series with the chaotic gameplay of the Bomberman series.

Additionally, an original multiplayer online mode will be added to the game later this fall. FOX HUNT is set in the same world as the main story. This new mode makes use of stealth and survival elements to deliver exciting hide-and-seek style, back-and-forth gameplay action.

DJI Introduces the DJI Mic 3

DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today announced DJI Mic 3, an ultralight wireless microphone offering powerful performance and unmatched versatility. Building on previous generations of the DJI Mic series, Mic 3 supports up to four transmitters and eight receivers, making multi‑camera production and group recordings effortless. It is also the first in the series to feature an adaptive gain control that automatically prevents clipping or dynamically balances the volume, along with three voice tone presets and two-level noise cancelling. Another first is the dual-file 32-bit float internal recording with 32 GB of storage.

Lightweight, Versatile, and Ready to Go

The DJI Mic 3 Transmitter is compact and discreet, weighing just 16 grams. The microphone angle can be flexibly adjusted with the detachable, rotating clip, ensuring optimal audio capture no matter how it’s attached. It can be worn with either a magnetic or a clip-on attachment. The DJI Mic 3 windscreens can also be purchased in five different colors to easily match clothing or the environment.

Creators can easily bring Mic 3 along from location to location for multi-scene shooting while recharging on the go. The all-in-one charging case neatly holds two transmitters and one receiver. The transmitters can be stored without needing to remove the windscreen and magnetic clip. There is also space for the magnets and locking cables.

An Upleveled, Premium Audio Experience

Crafted to offer all content creators an unprecedented level of control and creativity, Mic 3 is equipped with intelligent features that enable dynamic, high-quality sound. It is the first DJI microphone to feature two Adaptive Gain Control modes. For outdoor environments with dramatic volume, such as sporting events, Automatic mode suppresses sudden volume spikes and prevents clipping. Meanwhile, Dynamic mode automatically adjusts gain in response to volume changes, ensuring consistent loudness – ideal for quiet indoor settings like studios.

Mic 3 is the first DJI microphone to offer three voice tone presets: Regular, Rich, and Bright. Ideal for interviews with multiple people with different vocal characteristics, this feature professionally tunes voices, boosting low frequencies to reduce muddiness or enhancing high frequencies to improve clarity.

Simultaneously, two-level active noise cancelling reduces background sounds such as air conditioning to deliver crisp and clear audio. With the windscreen attached, wind noise can be further reduced. Finally, the Lossless Audio feature enables the transmitter to deliver uncompressed 48kHz 24-bit audio directly to the receiver, capturing audio in stunning, high-fidelity detail.

Flexibility Made for Collaboration, Versatility and Reliability

With its capacity of up to four transmitters and eight receivers at once (additional transmitters and receivers are sold separately), you’ll get crystal-clear audio on every device whether it’s a group interview or multi-camera shoots, making post-production a breeze. When set to Quadraphonic mode, the DJI Mic 3 Receiver—paired with select Sony cameras or computer software—supports independent output of four audio tracks. This enables precise track separation and flexible mixing, giving you greater creative freedom in post-production.

For complex, large environments such as trade shows or sporting events, Mic 3 features an impressive range of 400 meters and strong resistance to interference1, with automatic frequency hopping between 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands ensuring rock-solid transmission1.

Offers Dual-File 32-bit Float Internal Recording and Timecode Support for Easier Post-production

Internal recording protects material from wireless interference or device issues, ensuring users never need to worry about lost audio. The Mic 3’s dual-file internal recording saves both the original track and the algorithm-enhanced version. This allows for creative flexibility and simplifies post-production processing. With two internal recording specifications – either 24-bit or 32-bit floating point – Mic 3 provides a dynamic range that adapts better to complex sound environments, able to capture every nuance of a voice from a whisper to a shout. The transmitter offers high-precision timecode functionality, embedding timecode data during internal recording. Within a 24 hour period, the timecode won’t deviate for more than one frame1, guaranteeing precise synchronization across multiple cameras and allowing effortless alignment of footage in post-production.

Powering All-Day Creation

A fully charged Mic 3 transmitter lasts up to eight hours1, and the receiver lasts up to 10 hours1. The charging case provides 2.4 full charges, achieving 28 hours of extended use. A five-minute quick-charge can power the DJI Mic 3 for two hours1, while just 50 minutes is needed for a full charge1. The Mic 3 also offers multiple power-saving features to prevent the need for recharging. For example, Auto Power-Savings puts the receiver and transmitter to sleep if not in use, while Auto Power-Off turns them off after a period of inactivity.

Simple, Straightforward Connection within DJI Ecosystem and Beyond

With a direct connection to the DJI OsmoAudio™ ecosystem, DJI Mic 3 pairs with Osmo 360, Osmo Action 5 Pro, Osmo Action 4, or Osmo Pocket 3 without a receiver, delivering premium audio while minimizing the amount of gear needed and simplifying a creator’s workflow. To connect with other devices, Mic 3 features a locking 3.5mm TRS output port, a 3.5mm TRRS monitoring port, and a USB-C port. It can also connect directly to smartphones via Bluetooth without a receiver.

Offline Debut at IFA, 5-9 September, 2025

Be among the first to experience DJl’s latest ultralight wireless microphone, at this year’s IFA, Germany.

DJI Mic 3 will be available for tryout for all visitors to DJI’s booth in Hall 20-149, from 5th to 9th September, 2025.
