David Hayter, the voice actor best known for his work as Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid series, might not be returning for the next game in the series, according to a Twitter poll that he conducted himself.

The actor first asked followers: “Informal Poll:How would you react if I didn't play Snake in the next Metal Gear?”

He then added, “Poll Results:Sad/Angry: 64% No Big Deal: 12%(You're all dead to me, btw.) Would Not Buy: 24% 303 ppl srveyd”

The coming Metal Gear Solid project that Hayter should be part of is Ground Zeroes.

Hideo Kojima has already stated that the game would tackle a number of highly sensitive themes and he might cast a new actor as Solid Snake in order to lend more importance to some of them.

The game is expected to use the core stealth mechanics of the series and might arrive on next-gen consoles.
