Phantom: Covert Ops - Gaming Legend David Hayter Joins Voice Cast

David Hayter, the voice-acting legend known for playing Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid series, will join Oculus-exclusive VR stealth title, Phantom: Covert Ops as ex- Soviet General Nikolai Zhurov. As the game's primary antagonist, Zhurov will stop at nothing to change the outcome of the Cold War; it's up to players to stop him. Get a first look at Hayter in his character's trailer above.

Taking place on a naval installation in 1991, players will face up against General Zhurov as they infiltrate the base aboard their sleek tactical kayak. Silently gliding across the water, eliminating foes and using a range of gadgets to complete their objectives.

Discussing the game, Hayter commented that Phantom: Covert Ops is "one of the finest stealth games I’ve ever seen or been part of". Lofty praise coming from the star of Hideo Kojima's beloved Metal Gear Solid  franchise.

In turn, Tom Gillo, VP of Development at nDreams (the game's developer) highlights how having an actor of Hayter's calibre "speaks volumes about what we're trying to achieve with Phantom". It truly sounds as if both parties are equally pleased to be working with one another!

Phantom: Covert Ops will release 25th June for Oculus Quest and Rift platforms.
