Happy Snake Year! Metal Gear Solid Celebrates 2025 with Solid Snake's Return
The Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac coincides perfectly with the anticipated release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater in 2025. David Hayter, the iconic voice of Solid Snake, marked the occasion with a celebratory message on Bluesky, hinting at a big year for both the character and the game.

Hayter's announcement follows Konami's own celebratory New Year's video featuring Taiko drummers and calligraphy artists showcasing the kanji for "snake." This overt nod to both the zodiac and Solid Snake himself builds anticipation for the upcoming remake.
While details have been scarce since the game's May 2024 announcement, a recent interview with producer Noriaki Okamura highlighted the development team's commitment to delivering a high-quality, polished product in 2025. Okamura emphasized the challenge of meeting this goal for the highly anticipated title.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remake of the beloved 2004 classic, promises next-gen enhancements, including the return of Phantom Pain mechanics and new dialogue from the original voice actors. The game is slated for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S sometime in 2025.
