David Hayter Reacts to Metal Gear Solid 5 Voice Announcement

Fans hoping to hear David Hayter's voice in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 5 may have had their hopes dashed when Hayter revealed back in April that he wouldn't be reprising his role as the series' protagonist.

However, a new tweet by Hayter today casts doubt on his previous statement as it seems to imply that Hayter will, for a fact, be returning to the series—just as we noted in the past.

Given the odd PR campaign that saw the initial announcement of Metal Gear Solid 5, there's a good chance that Hayter's previous statement was complete bullshit and that he'll be returning to voice the character.

Here's what he wrote:

I'm so excited for E3!I just hope I don't lose my voice.;-)

Interestingly enough, Konami intends to showcase the game ahead of E3 at their Pre-E3 show on June 6, where they will reveal Snake's voice actor. Who else could it be?
