Happy Snake Year! Metal Gear Solid Celebrates 2025 with Snake-themed Festivities
David Hayter, the iconic voice of Solid Snake, rings in the Year of the Snake (2025) with a special New Year's message. This auspicious coincidence aligns perfectly with the highly anticipated release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.
A Serendipitous Alignment
Hayter, known for his roles as both Solid Snake and Big Boss, shared his celebratory message on Bluesky, hinting at a potentially momentous year for the legendary character. His return as Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remake adds to the excitement.
Konami further amplified the "Snake Year" theme with a captivating New Year's greeting video on YouTube. The video features a dynamic Taiko drum performance alongside a calligraphy artist creating the kanji for "snake," culminating in a bold "SNAKE YEAR" announcement.
While details have been scarce since the game's May 2024 announcement, a Tokyo Game Show demo, and trailer, producer Noriaki Okamura recently spoke to 4Gamer. He highlighted the team's commitment to delivering a highly polished and high-quality product in 2025 – a significant challenge they're tackling head-on.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is slated for release in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. This remake of the 2004 classic promises next-gen enhancements, including the return of Phantom Pain mechanics, and new voice work from the original cast.
