Solid Snake is coming to Rainbow Six Siege.
Not as a skin for an already-existing character, but a fully-fledged operator with his own unique loadout and play style. When GameSpot talked to Ubisoft Montreal about the future of Siege for our 10th anniversary documentary, we didn’t quite imagine a crossover of this magnitude.
Although Ubisoft’s Siege team has done crossovers in the past, this is the first time a character outside of Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy universe has joined Team Rainbow. I sat down with key developers from Ubisoft and Konami to learn how a collaboration like this comes about and why Solid Snake is a perfect fit for Rainbow Six Siege.

But before we get into that, let’s address the bandana-wearing elephant in the room: Yes, actor David Hayter has reprised his role as Solid Snake for this crossover. For the Siege team, this was non-negotiable.
“It was really a core objective to get Hayter for the English VO because it’s […] iconic,” Siege creative director Josh Mills told me, and he’s right. Hearing David Hayter growl, “Reloading” or “Enemy detected” in the middle of a match is undeniably cool and, frankly, it just wouldn’t be Solid Snake
