Overview

  • David Hayter played Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain for the first time, praised its gameplay as exceptional and publicly forgave his 2015 recasting by Kiefer Sutherland.
  • Konami has brought Hayter back as Snake for the Master Collection Vol. 1 and recorded new dialogue with him for the Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater remake.
  • Series producer Noriaki Okamura describes Delta as both a companion to and a potential replacement for the original Snake Eater, leaving that decision up to players.
  • The Metal Gear Solid Delta remake reuses the 2004 voice recordings and core assets, adding only graphical fidelity and control upgrades in an “almost too faithful” presentation.
  • Konami confirmed that the remake’s online Fox Hunt mode will not support cross-play, defining clear technical limits for its multiplayer feature.
