In a tweet, Hideo Kojima announced that the Snatcher-universe radio drama, “Suda 51’s Sdatcher,” will be released as a free download. A CD will be sold later to pay the voice actors, including many Metal Gear series cast members. There’s still no official release date for the drama, but it was planned to be concurrent with Hideradio podcast number 300 — they’re on 298 right now. Kojima subsequently tweeted the character art of Jean Jack Gibson above.
Kojima also said that he’s heard the music Akira Yamaoka is making for the drama, which was to be ’70s progressive rock and ’80s electro pop. Per Andriasang’s translation, Kojima likes it but questioned its reception by the masses. And when you bring in Suda 51 to make a podcast radio drama based on an adventure game from 1988, you don’t want anything to get in the way of that built-in mass appeal.
