Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater isn’t a particularly long game – especially not if you’ve played the original – but Delta has over 100 different titles for you to unlock, which will require playing and replaying the game in order to unlock them all. If you’ve wanted a reason to spend dozens of hours in MGS 3, then this is for you.

But even if you just want to experience the story and the bonuses there’s plenty here for you to dig into, and we’re breaking down how long it’ll take you to play MGS Delta and how many chapters are in the game below.

If you've just started playing MGS Delta on console, make sure to check which MGS Delta console graphics mode is best for you.

Metal Gear Solid Delta isn’t a particularly long game – it is from the PS2 era, after all – but it’s designed to be played over and over again. Even if you know exactly how to unlock every secret and trophy or achievement, you’ll need to replay the game several times, and far more if you actually wish to unlock every Title in the game, some of which ask you to do things like complete the game in less than five hours, with no kills, no alerts, or with a leech attached to your torso throughout the game. These challenges will take hours upon hours for a true completionist, and getting the Platinum trophy will be a much easier task.

  • Main game: 12-15 hours
  • Main game + Snake vs Monkey: 15-18 hours
  • Completion (all titles + trophies): 60+ hours

Metal Gear Solid Delta doesn’t necessarily have “chapters” but in the Demo Theater you’ll see the game’s various cutscenes are separated by area and scenario. We’ve listed all areas and scenarios here, which can be considered the game’s chapters, but some of them will be over very quickly. You can even use the Demo Theater to unlock some cutscene-related achievements, like Ocelot Always Gets His Man.
