Solid Snake actor David Hayter teases new performance as Metal Gear icon 

With Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater on the horizon, fans will be able to hear David Hayter as Snake again for the first time in a decade. While the new remake reuses old audio from the original game, Hayter has teased fans that a new performance is on the way. 

David Hayter could’ve recorded new Snake dialogue 

Konami has yet to reveal the release date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, but the new remake is still planned for this year. With almost every Easter Egg making a return, the new remake is an intensely faithful remake. 

However, in a post on Twitter, voice actor David Hayter teased that he’s recorded new lines for Solid Snake for the first time since Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker in 2010. 

“I was in the booth today,” the iconic voice actor said. “Playing a role I’ve not played, since…” The tweet was followed with a GIF of Snake in the new remake.

What does this mean? 

While nothing is confirmed, Hayter’s tease means that new Solid Snake audio has been recorded. Despite Keifer Sutherland’s fantastic performance as Big Boss in MGS V: The Phantom Pain, fans have waited over a decade for Hayter to reprise his iconic role. 

Hayter’s tweet could mean that Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater could have new audio after all, maybe even a new epilogue for the stealth game’s story. On the other hand, Hayter could simply be recording audio for upcoming advertisements for the game. 

Until the voice actor’s new dialogue is confirmed, many fans will continue to speculate on what Hayter’s new recordings include. Could a new Metal Gear game be in development? Maybe another remake is on the way? Perhaps an anime episode is coming. We really don’t know.
