As Metal Gear Solid Delta plunges fans back into the world of Snake Eater , the franchise has one last surprise for fans in the form of an ambitious fan theory. Often hailed as the best game in the franchise, Snake Eater follows an operative named Naked Snake as he attempts to prevent Cold War paranoia erupting into World War III, uncovering the origins of a secretive group exerting control over world politics.
Like any Hideo Kojima project , Snake Eater has a seemingly simple plot with labyrinthine details hidden beneath the surface, returning again and again to the theme of family and legacy. It's therefore perfect that this fan theory speculates that two of the franchise's most creative villains are connected as father and son - Psycho Mantis and the Sorrow.
