Happy Snake Year! Metal Gear voice actor David Hayter rings in 2025, the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac, with a special message. Discover what exciting developments await the Metal Gear Solid franchise this year!
A Fortunate Coincidence
David Hayter, the voice of Solid Snake and Big Boss, shared a New Year's greeting on Bluesky, highlighting the auspicious timing of 2025 as the Year of the Snake. With a new Metal Gear Solid game on the horizon, it seems fitting that this could be Solid Snake's year as well. Hayter will reprise his iconic role in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remake.
Konami also acknowledged this fortunate coincidence with a celebratory video on YouTube. The video featured 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, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has been relatively quiet. However, producer Noriaki Okamura recently told 4Gamer that delivering a high-quality, polished game is a top priority for 2025. This presents a significant challenge for the development team.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remake of the 2004 classic Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, is slated for release in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Expect next-gen enhancements, including the return of Phantom Pain mechanics, and new voice work from the original cast.
