In Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft Has Brought Back the Good Old, Muscular-in-All-Places Snake
The News We Deserved
Solid Snake has finally regained the form fans thought was lost. In recent years, fans have sadly joked that the legendary hero 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., his 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, defined 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.
