Brawl.Hayter previously voiced Snake for years, but did not voice the character in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, even for the character’s classic skin based on Snake’s original PlayStation appearance.

Andrew is IGN’s executive editor of news and has never been asked to provide the voice of Snake for a video game, not even once. You can find him rambling about Persona and cute animals on Twitter.
