Platinum Games, the developer of acclaimed action titles including Bayonetta and Nier: Automata, contributed to the development of Konami’s Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Konami has confirmed. Specifically, Platinum created a new version of Snake’s Nightmare, an Easter egg that longtime fans of MGS3 will no doubt relish the return of.
Snake’s Nightmare is a third-person action sequence that is accessed by saving the game when Snake is captured and thrown in prison. When the save file is reloaded, instead of going back to the prison, players wake up in a hellish otherworld where a mysterious man wielding hook-swords takes on demons in a graveyard.
