Many fans had a suspicion, and now their suspicions have been confirmed. It turns out that one of the most well-known voice actors from Disney animated movies, who also happens to be a true princess, was the star of the original Metal Gear Solid 3. For years, there has been a mystery surrounding the iconic character of EVA and her voice in the game. Fans have been perplexed by this mystery even more than they were by the complex plots of the Metal Gear Solid series.
The easy answer was that EVA was voiced by Suzetta Miñet, as her name appeared in the game's credits. However, when fans tried to find more information about her, they found that she didn't seem to exist. It was widely believed that Suzetta Miñet was a pseudonym, and while there were suspicions that one actress may have been the voice of EVA, it was never officially confirmed...until now.
The question on everyone's mind was: who is the voice of EVA in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater? With the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3, titled Metal Gear Solid Delta, in the works, Konami has been releasing documentary videos about the game's history. In their latest video, they revealed the true identity of Suzetta Miñet: Jodi Benson.
If her name doesn't ring a bell, her most famous role certainly will. Benson is best known for voicing the beloved Disney Princess Ariel in the original The Little Mermaid. She has continued to voice the character in various other movies, TV shows, theme park attractions, and video games since 1989. So why did she use a different name for Metal Gear Solid 3? Benson explained that at the time, her name was mostly associated with family-friendly media, such as the animated Thumbelina movie and the comedy Flubber starring Robin Williams. It was voice director Kris Zimmerman Salter who suggested Benson use a different name, based on her pet dog at the time, Susan Monet.
Despite keeping her involvement a secret, many fans had suspected that it was Benson voicing EVA. In fact, Benson shared a story about a fan approaching her at a convention and asking her to sign a copy of Metal Gear Solid 3. She had to playfully shush the fan and keep her involvement a secret.
While it may have been a conscious decision to keep her involvement a secret, it's nice to finally give Benson the credit she deserves for her performance after all these years. The remake will be re-using the original voice performances, but it seems there will also be some new lines recorded. In the documentary, Hayter asked Benson and Lori Alan, the voice of Snake's mentor The Boss, about their experience revisiting their characters and recording new lines.
The video also provides behind-the-scenes insights on the voice acting in the game. Hayter and Benson discuss how they approached a certain romantic scene between Snake and EVA. And as a bonus, fans can watch all three of them reacting to footage from the remake and gushing over how amazing it looks.
The remake is set to be released by the end of 2024. To stay updated on all the latest gaming news and releases, be sure to sign up for our newsletter or follow us on social media.
