Hayter will continue in his role, providing the voice to Metal Gear Solid hero Solid Snake. Quinton Flynn (Raiden), Paul Eiding (Roy Campbell) Christopher Randolph (Hal "Otacon" Emmerich) and Debbie Mae West (Meryl Campbell) also reprise their roles.

"I'm so proud and grateful to have been involved with Mr. Kojima as the voice of Snake, for nearly a decade, on this legendary video game series. This game is going to plunge players into the ultimate Metal Gear experience. And personally, I can't wait to play it," said Hayter.

We still don't know when Metal Gear Solid 4 will be released, although we certainly hope that's it's sometime later this year.
