Death Stranding is set to feature at the Tokyo Game Show later this week, and director Hideo Kojima has revealed that the PlayStation 4 exclusive's Japanese voice cast will be present during a stage presentation. Nothing too out of the ordinary, but then Kojima's posted a Tweet saying that the cast includes voice actors who previously worked on the Metal Gear series.
Most notably, Akio Ōtsuka will play a yet-to-be announced role in Death Stranding. Ōtsuka was the voice of both Solid Snake and Big Boss, so it's somewhat interesting to hear that he'll be back for Kojima's current project. What's more, Kikuko Inoue, voice of The Boss in Metal Gear Solid 3, will also feature.
While we don't think it's worth reading into this too much, you never quite know what you're going to get with Kojima. He's obviously still got a good working relationship with both Ōtsuka and Inoue, but we wouldn't be at all surprised to see a few Metal Gear-related nods in Death Stranding.

we just want david hayter to make a return.
@Porco Yeah I don't know why kojima isn't a fan of hayter, hearing snake voiced by other actor (kiefer sutherland) in mgs v is super weird, I always need a couple of second before realizing it's meant to be snake voice
Yeah i could never work out who was talking in the MGS5 recordings.
Well I guess this game might release during my lifetime after all if they're doing the voice acting already. I'll belooking forward to more TGS news later this week.
@wiiware
David Hayter doesn't know either. I believe he said he only met Kojima once and he was very quiet and unassuming. Didn't seem too upset, more said that acting is a constant punch to the ego so he didn't take it too personal.
I liked Sutherland in The Lost Boys but he made a crap Snake, compared to David Hayter. Hayter was pure cheese but that's what made the voice great.
