Here we go again. Metal Gear Solid voice actor and singer Donna Burke has sent the rumour mill into overdrive by sharing photos of her seemingly recording something related to Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. With the ever-circling rumours of an MGS3 remake project in the works at Konami growing in their insistence of late, Burke’s latest posts are clearly designed to tease those eager for a return of the best stealth game of all time.
Burke, who voiced the iDROID in Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain as well as Ground Zeroes, also recorded a cover version of Cynthia Harrell’s original Bond-like title track ‘Snake Eater’ for the Metal Gear Solid Vocal Tracks album produced and released in Japan by Konami in 2015. As such, it’s likely that she might be called into action for a re-recording of the iconic song, given that Harrell officially retired from professional singing in 2019.
“Recording in progress!” Those three words from Burke (via PlayStation Lifestyle), along with a selfie of her holding artwork of a cat wearing the eyepatch of Big Boss along with the words ‘Snake Eater,’ are certainly enough to get every Metal Gear Solid fan leaping out of their chairs. Of course, we’d urge that you take a few deep breaths and exercise a modicum of caution.
Actors involved with the series have certainly been known to tease fans in the past – much like the notorious antics of series creator Hideo Kojima himself. Suggestions of a possible Metal Gear Rising 2 from Raiden voice actor Quinton Flynn have, so far, not borne any actual fruit. However, with the Silent Hill 2 remake proving that Konami is prepared to make moves in the game industry once more, it’s certainly possible something could be on the cards.
