However, when Platinum Games was attached to the project, the time frame was moved to several years after Metal Gear Solid 4, to a time when cyborgs are becoming more commonplace in the world.

This probably would have rendered an English voiced version of the sword unfeasible. The sword was not included in international releases, presumably due to Kojima's decision to replace David Hayter with Kiefer Sutherland as the English voice of Snake, since Metal Gear Solid V was being developed at the time. From this unexpected tag team effort, a new Metal Gear, unique enough to stand apart from the Solid series, is born.

The Japanese release of the VR Missions DLC includes a weapon called the Hebidamashii (蛇魂, literally "Snake Spirit"), a talking sword with Solid Snake's voice that cheers Raiden on in combat.
