Happy Snake Year! Metal Gear Solid Celebrates 2025 with Snake-Themed Festivities

Metal Gear voice actor, David Hayter, kicked off the Year of the Snake (according to the Chinese zodiac) with a celebratory message, hinting at an exciting year for the iconic Solid Snake. Read on for the latest news!

A Serendipitous Alignment

David Hayter, the voice of both Solid Snake and Big Boss, took to Bluesky to wish fans a Happy Snake Year. This auspicious timing coincides with the highly anticipated release of a new Metal Gear installment. Hayter will be reprising his role as Solid Snake in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remake.

Konami cleverly acknowledged this coincidence with a New Year's greeting 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, 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 high-quality, polished game in 2025 – a significant challenge for the team.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remake of the 2004 classic, 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 new voice work from the original cast.
