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 greeting. What does this auspicious year hold for the legendary franchise? Let's delve in!
A Fortunate Convergence

David Hayter, the voice behind Solid Snake and Big Boss, used his Bluesky account to wish fans a Happy Snake Year. With a new Metal Gear Solid title on the horizon, 2025 could be a pivotal year for the iconic character. Hayter will reprise his role as Solid Snake in the highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remake.
The coincidence of 2025 being both the Year of the Snake and the target release year for the remake isn't lost on Konami. Their official YouTube channel featured a New Year's greeting video showcasing a captivating performance by Taiko drummers and 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, highlighting their commitment to delivering a polished, 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 new voice work and dialogue from the original cast.
