Naked Snake's age in MGS3

Post by Johnny Undaunted »

According to the Japanese Wikipedia, Naked Snake is 28 years old in Snake Eater. According to their MGS3, it can be verified during a radio call. Anyone can confirm this for me.

i thought he was a bit older. they talk about how he was a bikini atoll test subject. and a green beret and all that jazz. it seems unlikely to me that he could get that experience when only being 28 yrs old.

According to the leaked document, he's in his thirties.
And I heard people saying Kojima stated in an interview that he was about the same age Solid was at Shadow Moses (because he wanted them to become "legends" at the same age). So that would make him 33.
But I've never found that said interview...

The bombing experiment occurred in 1956, making him 20-years-old. Then again, if Naked Snake joined the Green Berets 1950, then that would make him 14-years-old. That would make way too young.

Wasn't that a "joke" from Snake Plissken (the user, not the John Carpenter character) ?

Yep, it was a hoax people took seriously.
