The upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be the first time in while that veteran actor David Hayter – known as the voice of Solid Snake and Big Boss – will be taking centerstage again, having been MIA in Metal Gear Solid 5. The remake is, however, going to be using the same voice recordings as the original game (with some minor exceptions), which means we still won’t be hearing any new lines from Hayter- for now, at least.
As it turns out, it seems the actor may be stepping into the Big Boss boots again, though it’s unknown to what extent exactly. Taking to Twitter, Hayter teased that he recently recorded new lines for a role that he hasn’t played in a long time, before attaching a Big Boss / Naked Snake gif from Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater in a follow-up tweet.
Fans of the series will obviously be excited at the prospect of David Hayter returning to the role of Big Boss, but it remains to be seen exactly what his tweets are referring to, from a new game to another remake to perhaps something else entirely- like promotional material for the upcoming MGS3 remake, perhaps.
Either way, it does look like the Metal Gear franchise is building momentum again, with Konami also thinking about the series’ future and additional potential remakes down the line. Read more on that through here.
