Legendary Japanese Solid Snake Actor Wants 'New Metal Gear Game', But 'Won't Do One Without Kojima'
Solid Snake's legendary Japanese actor is keen to return for a new game, though feels conflicted about any fresh entry without the involvement of creator Hideo Kojima.
Solid Snake's Japanese voice and motion capture actor, Akio Otsuka, expressed his enthusiasm for a new Metal Gear game, but stressed that Kojima's involvement is crucial. In an interview with Bunshun, Otsuka reminisced about his deep attachment to the Metal Gear series and his desire for Konami to create another installment. He previously stated that he wouldn't participate in a new game without Kojima's involvement, a sentiment that gained traction among Japanese fans after the Konami/Kojima split.
However, Otsuka clarified that he can't retract his previous statement, leaving it up to the reader's imagination. Despite Konami and Kojima's strained relationship, Otsuka remains attached to the series and the character of Solid Snake, whom he considers to be "Akio Otsuka" for the Japanese fans.
