Hideo Kojima was supposed to be here tonight at The Game Awards 2015: some thought he would announce his new project, but simply had to withdraw with Kiefer Sutherland awards for best Action/Adventure game and soundtrack assigned to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain .

The famous game designer has not participated in the event, and the show's host Geoff Keighley explained that there has been a change of plans at the last minute because Konami's lawyers prevented from Kojima to appear on stage. This adds to the long diatribe that sees Kojima from Konami and excluded from all promotional activities related to MGS V: currently the Japanese maker is bound by a contract that prevents him from speaking or disseminating information until December, but soon we should know more about this discussissima story.
