Happy Snake Year! Metal Gear Solid voice actor David Hayter rings in 2025, the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac, with a special message. What does this auspicious year hold for the iconic franchise? Let's delve in!
A Serendipitous Alignment
David Hayter, the voice of Solid Snake and Big Boss, took to Bluesky to wish fans a Happy Snake Year, highlighting the fortuitous timing with the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater release. This could indeed be Solid Snake's year! Hayter will reprise his legendary role in the remake.
The coincidence isn't lost on Konami. Their official YouTube channel featured a New Year's greeting video showcasing a dynamic Taiko drum performance alongside a calligraphy artist writing 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 commitment to delivering a highly polished and high-quality game in 2025 – a significant challenge they're tackling head-on.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remake of the 2004 classic Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, is slated for a 2025 release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Expect next-gen enhancements, including the return of Phantom Pain mechanics, along with fresh voice work from the original cast.
