It's been quite some time since voice actor David Hayter last donned the role of Snake. For many years, Hayter was the voice behind the character, becoming almost synonymous with it. Despite Kiefer Sutherland taking over as Venom Snake, fans continued to champion Hayter's portrayal. Hayter's voice was even featured in other franchises like Super Smash Bros., where the game utilized previously recorded dialogue. However, Hayter hinted at a potential return to the role in an undisclosed project.
Recently, Hayter took to Twitter to announce that he was back in the recording booth on Thursday, playing a role he hadn't done in quite a while. He followed up with a tweet containing a GIF from the upcoming remake of Snake Eater, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. This tease sent fans into a frenzy, though it's highly unlikely that Hayter could contribute to the Snake Eater remake at this stage. Thus, the timing and nature of this hinted project remain uncertain, leaving fans with only hope and speculation.
Given Konami's focus on advancing the narrative rather than revisiting past titles (with the exception of Delta), it's possible that a new Solid Snake game is in development. The question remains as to when this game would be set, considering Snake's rapid aging by the end of Metal Gear Solid 4.
