In Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft Has Brought Back the Good Old, Muscular-Everywhere Snake
The News We Deserve
Solid Snake has finally regained the form that fans considered lost. In recent years, fans sadly joked that the legendary hero had lost not only new Metal Gear installments but also his impressive musculature from the MGS2 era. The situation only worsened in crossovers: in Super Smash Bros., the model noticeably "slimmed down," and in Fortnite, the character was completely "flattened" to the point of being unrecognizable, sparking a wave of irony about the "nerf" of his main asset.
But now, thanks to the collaboration between Rainbow Six Siege and Konami, justice has prevailed. The developers have restored Snake's classic, chiseled appearance, and fans immediately reacted with enthusiastic approval. There's still room to grow to reach the ideal of the early 2000s, but the community agrees: this is a step in the right direction. After all, for many, this isn't just a joke but part of the character's visual identity, inextricably linked to the heyday of Metal Gear Solid.
