Kojima Talks Castlevania Voice Casting, Possible Peace Walker Sequel
When Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima made clear a couple days ago that announcements planned for the weekend would not involve “[Zone of the Enders 3] and so forth,” he meant it — sadly, no game reveals were made. But during a recording of the Hidechannel Radio podcast in front of a live audience, Kojima did reveal details about the voice casting for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and also slipped a few interesting details about his intentions for a potential follow-up to Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (via Andriasang).
During a Q&A session with the audience after the podcast was recorded, a fan asked Kojima whether there would be a Peace Walker sequel. In response, Kojima said that due to Peace Walker’s success, he wants to make “something bigger,” a game that might be on consoles but can also be transferred to a portable to take with you on the go. But this might only be a follow-up to Peace Walker thematically, as Kojima noted that he couldn’t say “if such a game would be a sequel or not.”
He also revealed that Kojima Productions is in charge of recording the Japanese voice-acting for Lords of Shadow, and he’ll be bringing back a number of Metal Gear Solid voice actors for the title — including the voice of Solid Snake, Akio Otsuka (please be Dracula, please be Dracula…). Whether this means Kojima Productions will also be in charge of the English voice-work (and if actors from the English MGS series will show up — say, our own Solid Snake, David Hayter?) wasn’t addressed.
