This morning is making its way to an alarming rumors among fans that Hideo Kojima and his studio Kojima Productions is in the process of leaving Konami House right in the middle of production of Metal Gear Solid v: The Phantom Pain . In the past the famous game designers had already stated that this would be his last MGS, but nobody gave much weight to this claim because the same things had also called for the previous titles of the series ... but this time there is something true?

We come to items that are bringing many to fear for a divorce between the two realities. First there is this tweet this morning's official channel Kojima Productions, which announced that all future tweet will be made on the official channel of the Metal Gear series. So far nothing too alarming, maybe you wanted to give it a more official appearance to tweet about the MGS series.

In addition there are however more facts which cannot be coincidences: for one thing, the study's page of Kojima Konami website now no longer exists, and simply refers to the home of the Metal Gear series. Added to this is that the web page of Metal Gear Solid V passed away, at the bottom, the Kojima Productions logo. You can see how it appeared until last month via the Internet Archive .

Similarly, the sitemap page Metal Gear Solid band is death marked " a game by Hideo Kojima " who was present until recently . Also on the job search site from Konami, that first section was titled " the Kojima Productions " (the study dealing with all the online of the game) has now been renamed " Konami Los Angeles Studio ", as well as the studio's page redirects to the home of the Konami website.

Ultimately, it's as if Konami has removed any reference to Hideo Kojima, Kojima Productions from their pages.

When questioned about it by the British Gamer site, Konami has not denied but merely make a statement open to interpretation: " Konami Digital Entertainment, including Mr. Kojima, will continue to develop and support Metal Gear products. Stay pending future announcements. "

Notice how in the Declaration does not say " Konami Digital Entertainment and Kojima Productions will continue to develop ", but it seems as if Kojima will keep a purely supporting role and consulting.

What's happening at home Konami? We hope to reveal its ASAP, as soon as they start to get official clarification.
