Happy Snake Year! Metal Gear Solid voice actor David Hayter rings in 2025, the Year of the Snake, with a special message for fans. What does this auspicious year hold for the Metal Gear franchise? Let's find out!
A Fortunate Coincidence
David Hayter, the voice of Solid Snake and Big Boss, shared a celebratory New Year's greeting on Bluesky, highlighting the serendipitous timing of 2025 being the Year of the Snake. With a new Metal Gear game on the horizon, could this be Solid Snake's year, too? Hayter is confirmed to reprise his iconic role in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remake.
Konami themselves acknowledged this coincidence with a festive YouTube video. The video featured a captivating performance by Taiko drummers and a calligraphy artist creating the kanji for "snake," culminating in a bold "SNAKE YEAR" announcement.
Since its May 2024 announcement, including a trailer and Tokyo Game Show demo, news on Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has been relatively quiet. However, producer Noriaki Okamura recently spoke to 4Gamer, emphasizing their 2025 goal of delivering a highly polished and high-quality game. This highlights the challenge of meeting the anticipated release date.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remake of the beloved 2004 title, is slated for release in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. This next-generation remake promises enhanced graphics, the return of Phantom Pain mechanics, and new voice lines from the original cast, including Hayter.
