Konami revamped Snake Eater theme for Metal Gear Solid Delta, retaining the gifted vocalist to croon "Snaaaaake Eaateerrrrr" with equal brilliance.
In the forthcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta remaster, Cynthia Harrell has re-recorded the iconic "Snake Eater" theme music. The remaster's opening cinematic includes a new performance of the theme, which maintains the original's grand and undercover style while also offering a fresh rendition[1][2][3].
Harrell's powerful and emotive vocals deliver the same Lynchian fusion of campy and cool that has long captivated fans[1]. In this newest recording, the vocalist offers a slightly more mournful tone, which feels fitting for the darker narrative trajectory of the Metal Gear Solid series since the original release of Snake Eater[1].
The remastered version of the theme accompanies updated visuals for the opening cinematic, determined to maintain the intro's stylish James Bond-esque gloss with modern graphics[3]. The preview of the theme lacks staff credits, but it is expected that the complete in-game version will retain the credits featured in the original[3].
Lastly, it is worth noting that in a June 2024 interview, MGS Delta producer Noriaki Okamura confirmed that staff credits will be included in the final version[3]. The remastered version of the theme is ready to be savored, with Harrell's powerful delivery still holding the ability to make any endeavor, even the world's longest ladder climb, feel like a moment of cinematic pathos.
