In Konami’s pre-E3 conference, it was confirmed that Kiefer Sutherland will be the new voice of Snake in Metal Gear Solid 5, replacing the original voice David Hayter. The 24 actor was chosen to replace the voice of Snake as Kojima said he wanted to acquire the services of someone who could convey “a more subdued performance expressed through subtle facial movements and tone of voice, rather than words.”
24 fans may be please to hear that Sutherland will be the new Snake, but Metal Gear fans probably not so much. Naturally, Sutherland was pleased to be chosen as the new Snake:
“It’s an honor to be able to play this character, [Snake] has an unbelievable legacy. I’m not a gamer and I even knew about this game. I was certainly keenly aware of the legacy of [Metal Gear] and the success of these games.”
