Happy Snake Year! 2025 marks both the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac and a significant year for Metal Gear Solid fans. Read on to discover what exciting developments await!
A Fortunate Coincidence
David Hayter, the iconic voice of Solid Snake and Big Boss, celebrated the Year of the Snake on Bluesky, hinting at a momentous year for the character and the franchise. Hayter's return as Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater adds to the excitement.
Konami also acknowledged this auspicious coincidence with a New Year's greeting video featuring taiko drummers and calligraphy, culminating in a bold "SNAKE YEAR" announcement. This clearly signifies a special year not just for the zodiac, but for Solid Snake himself.
Since the May 2024 announcement, a trailer, and a Tokyo Game Show demo, updates on Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater have been relatively quiet. However, producer Noriaki Okamura recently told 4Gamer that delivering a high-quality, polished game is their top priority for 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 fresh voice work from the original cast.
