It’s not exaggarating to say that in the past years, it was pretty much Hideo Kojima keeping Konami at the front. After the 2008 Metal Gear Solid 4, the 2010 Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and the FOX Engine were all his work. Alright, but it seems like he won’t have a leading role in Konami anymore starting April 1, plus “A HIDEO KOJIMA GAME” and the Kojima Productions logo all started to disappear from the official artwork of Metal Gear Solid games, including the September-dated The Phantom Pain! Also, the pretty much official MGS account recommends followers to move over to a new one on Twitter…

The Los Angeles-based Kojima Productions studio was also renamed to Konami Los Angeles, and the saddest thing in it is that an unnamed insider source says that the entire Kojima-team will leave in December, but they will pretty much finish work after The Phantom Pain. There are no official confirmation as of yet, but there’s a question. What happens to the Silent Hills game with Guillermo Del Toro?
