David Hayter, the voice of Solid Snake and Big Boss, took to Bluesky to wish fans a Happy Snake Year, cleverly highlighting the coincidence of 2025 being both the Year of the Snake and the anticipated release year for a major Metal Gear title. His return as Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater further cements this as Snake's year.

Konami themselves acknowledged this synchronicity with a celebratory video featuring Taiko drummers and a calligraphy artist creating the kanji for "snake," culminating in a bold "SNAKE YEAR" declaration.

Since its May 2024 announcement, including a trailer and Tokyo Game Show demo, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has been relatively quiet. However, producer Noriaki Okamura recently told 4Gamer that delivering a high-quality, polished game is a top priority for 2025 – a significant challenge, but one they're determined to meet.

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.
