Konami has rolled out Update 1.1.4 for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, focusing on polishing the player experience by tackling long-standing voice line issues, cutscene glitches, and a key boss fight bug. While it’s a relatively small patch compared to earlier updates, it makes a noticeable difference for those diving deep into the remake’s campaign.
Key Fixes in Update 1.1.4
1. Voice Line Bugs Addressed
One of the most disruptive problems since launch involved Snake’s dialogue playing in English regardless of the chosen language settings. For players enjoying the Japanese dub or other localizations, this broke immersion.
- Update 1.1.4 ensures that the selected language now plays consistently.
- Another quirk where Snake’s lines would switch mid-cutscene between English and Japanese has also been corrected.
2. Cutscene Character & Animal Disappearances
Some cutscenes randomly lost background details, with characters or even animals vanishing from the scene. Whether it was secondary NPCs or more significant cast members, this visual hiccup has now been resolved.
3. Battle With The Pain – Rock Climbing Issue
The fight against The Pain, one of the early boss encounters, had a frustrating bug: Snake couldn’t always climb onto rocks in the flooded arena. Since rock-to-water transitions are a core tactic in the battle, this bug could make the fight unnecessarily punishing. Update 1.1.4 restores the intended mechanics, letting players properly use terrain to outmaneuver the boss.
4. Minor Fixes & Adjustments
Alongside the headline fixes, the patch includes a sweep of smaller stability improvements and general bug adjustments, helping smooth overall gameplay performance.
What Changed in Earlier Updates
The last patch, Update 1.1.3, introduced an inverted camera option, fixed an issue with GA-KO collectible rewards, and resolved certain crash scenarios. With 1.1.4 now live, Konami continues its steady cadence of small but meaningful updates, fine-tuning the game while preparing bigger features ahead.
Upcoming Features in Metal Gear Solid Delta
Konami has hinted at ongoing work on:
- Ultrawide (21:9) support for PC players.
- System spec checks built into the Steam version.
- Rendering mode options for PS5 Pro users.
- Broader performance stability improvements across platforms.
These are not part of 1.1.4 but are actively being investigated for future patches.
Though not a content-heavy update, Update 1.1.4 ensures a smoother, more authentic stealth experience—vital for a remake built on immersion and narrative weight. For fans revisiting Snake’s story or newcomers stepping into Kojima’s world for the first time, fewer distractions mean the focus stays where it should: on the tension, espionage, and survival tactics that define Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.
