Snake voice actor not in Metal Gear Solid 5: TPP

The voice of Metal Gear Solid's Big Boss and Solid Snake will not be returning in the upcoming game.

David Hayter confirmed on Twitter that Konami hadn't asked him to reprise his role as one of the most iconic characters in videogames.

Instead the voice of Big Boss in the recently released Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain trailer appears to be done by 24 actor Kiefer Sutherland, although that's not confirmed.

"Well look, at least I had a good run," Hayter tweeted last night.

He was then asked whether Konami had approached him to work on the upcoming game, to which he simply replied: "nope."

He later added: "Thank you all, I can't tell you what your support has meant to me all day. Love you back, my awesome Tweeps. DH."
