Key Takeaways
- Metal Gear Solid actor David Hayter has hinted that he will play Snake again.
- It is not clear what this project is because the Snake Eater remake reuses the voice lines from the original release.
Actor David Hayter has hinted strongly that he will play Snake again in a Metal Gear Solid type of project. This is the first time he has taken on a new line for a game series since 2010 when he appeared in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.
It's unlikely that it'll be for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, as it's set to launch later this year, and Hayter says he's just entered the recording studio. Instead, he could play Snake again in a completely different project, or have a smaller cameo in the remake.
David Hayter teases a long-awaited return to the role of Snake
As you can see, Hayter doesn't give much away about this return to action. He didn't even make it clear that he was playing Snake again, but that's exactly what he meant.
If true, Snake's return to duty will be a long time coming. Hayter has played different versions of Snake since Metal Gear Solid in 1998. After that, he appeared in Sons of Liberty, Snake Eater, Guns of the Patriots, and more. He didn't appear in Ground Zeroes or The Phantom Pain, but Kiefer Sufferland played Snake.
There was speculation that the Snake Eater reboot would see Hayter reprise his role, as he voiced Snake in the original, but it was later shot down when Konami confirmed that it was reusing the voice lines from first release. that's it READY maybe the devs brought in Hayter to write a cameo or maybe a new line or two that wasn't in the original, but if he's recording it now, his role might be small.
We will have to wait and see if this makes sense. Meanwhile, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will launch later this year.
