Celebrate the Year of the Snake with Metal Gear Solid! 2025 marks not only the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac, but also the anticipated release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater.
A Serendipitous Alignment
David Hayter, the iconic voice of Solid Snake and Big Boss, extended New Year's wishes on Bluesky, highlighting the auspicious Year of the Snake. This timely coincidence mirrors the highly anticipated release of the Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remake, potentially making 2025 a pivotal year for the character. Hayter will reprise his role in the upcoming title.
Konami further emphasized this connection with a celebratory YouTube video featuring Taiko drummers and calligraphy artistry showcasing the kanji for "snake," culminating in a bold "SNAKE YEAR" declaration.
Since its May 2024 announcement, including a trailer and Tokyo Game Show demo, updates on Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater have been relatively quiet. However, producer Noriaki Okamura recently spoke to 4Gamer, emphasizing their commitment to delivering a highly polished and high-quality game in 2025 – a significant challenge for the team.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remake of the 2004 classic, is slated for release in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Expect next-gen enhancements, including the return of Phantom Pain mechanics, along with new voice work from the original cast.
