New Metroidvania reunites original Metal Gear Solid voice actors

We typically only get to hear the main cast of the original Metal Gear Solid games in one place when we’re replaying the classics. Three of the key voice actors are having a bit of a reunion soon, however, thanks to a new Metroidvania called SteamDolls: Order of Chaos.

Appropriately enough, this one is billed as a stealth-action platformer, so we’re still technically on a stealth mission. This particular mission is now set to enter Early Access on February 11. The main cast in the latest from French-Belgian studio The Shady Gentleman includes David Hayter as The Whisper ꧟alongside Christopher Randolph and Jennifer Hale. Anyone nostalgic for the staccato burst of a patrolling exclamation point will recognize those names as the respective voices behind Solid Snake, Otacon, and Naomi Hunter.

You can hear how their voices sound in the context of the gritty, shadowed world of SteamDolls in the new release date trailer below.

The Shady Gentleman first cooked SteamDolls up with inspiration from a comic book before taking the title to Kickstarter. with €94,828 pledged of a €30,000 goal, and the team originally had a projected delivery of May 2021. That didn’t happen, but hopefully, the wait will have been worth it once it drops in a matter of days.

According to th𓃲e announcement, players who dive into Early Access can expect to play through six chapters of the game. That adds up to around five to seven hours of content, and the devs are hoping to use the feedback from this period to further refine everything for the eventual 1.0 launch. A free demo is still available, too, so you can hop in and hear that gravelly Hayter tone you know and love right now♌.
