Metal Gear Solid Welcomes the Year of the Snake with Snake Year Performance for Snake

Happy Snake Year! Metal Gear Solid voice actor, David Hayter, rings in 2025 – the Year of the Snake – with a special message for fans. Discover what exciting developments await the Metal Gear Solid franchise this year!

A Serendipitous Celebration

David Hayter, the iconic voice behind Solid Snake and Big Boss, shared a celebratory New Year's greeting on Bluesky, highlighting the auspicious coincidence of 2025 being the Year of the Snake. With a highly anticipated new Metal Gear Solid game on the horizon, it seems fitting that it's also Solid Snake's year. Hayter will reprise his role in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the upcoming remake.

Konami themselves acknowledged this fortunate timing with a celebratory video on YouTube. 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, followed by a trailer and Tokyo Game Show demo, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has remained relatively quiet. However, producer Noriaki Okamura recently spoke to 4Gamer, emphasizing their commitment to delivering a high-quality, polished game in 2025 – a significant challenge they're tackling head-on.

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. Expect next-gen enhancements, including the return of Phantom Pain mechanics, along with fresh voice work from the original cast.
