Rumor: New Kojima Productions project sneaking out in three days
According to a "cryptic email" sent to 1UP by a "source within Konami," Kojima Productions may be planning to announce ... something in three days. The email was titled "T - 3" and contained only a link to a currently unavailable page at the URL http://www.konami.jp/kojima_pro/next. If the information in this email -- or even the information about the email -- is accurate, it could be a hint about Zone of the Enders 3, which has evidently in Hideo Kojima's thoughts recently. It's got a 3 in it! But if we're speculating, we figure we might as well go for broke. Maybe it's a new Snatcher game! We never heard of anything coming out of the Kojima/Suda 51 "Project S" collaboration except for radio dramas -- the pair could still be working on more Snatcher-related material.Other possibilities -- which we must include lest a Kojima post go by without mention of Metal Gear -- include the trademarked Metal Gear Solid arcade game, and, if it's a different project, "the next MGS." And let's not ignore the possibility that this isn't true.
Kojima already seeking out his next title
It really should go without saying, but aside from Metal Gear Solid 4 and Metal Gear Online, Hideo Kojima has been hard at work figuring out his next move, outside of the Metal Gear franchise. Rumors have been swirling for a year now; everything from a collaborative sequel to Snatcher with Suda51, to a remake of Policenauts, to the heavily anticipated and partially expected Zone of the Enders 3. So, what's he working on?We won't know until 2009, apparently. A formal announcement isn't to be made until after Kojima finishes penning the new title's scenario. This won't happen until after Metal Gear Solid 4 is released and Metal Gear Online given a big push. So, maybe if things go particularly well for Kojima, we'll hear something near the end of the year, but we'll just safely assume we won't know if any of the aforementioned games are coming around until 2009.
