It's been a while since we've heard anything about the convoluted Konami and Kojima situation that led to the removal of the Kojima Productions name from all Metal Gear Solid branding. While Kojima's name has been returned to Metal Gear Solid 5, a tweet from Akio Otskuka, Snake's Japanese voice actor, says that Kojima Productions as a whole has been "dissolved."

As reported and translated by Kotaku, Otskuka states “Kojima Productions got dissolved and due to the team’s hard effort, the game is just about finished. This is no exaggeration, but it’s bound to be a supreme masterpiece! I can’t help it if I want to say, ‘I kept you waiting.’ (lol) Even if this is the last time... MGS lives forever!”

Otskuka previously tweeted his support for Metal Gear Solid 5 and urged fans not to boycott it after US voice actress Donna Burke announced that Kojima had been fired from Konami. There has still been no official comment from Kojima or Konami on the situation but at least we've still got MGS 5 which clearly has Kojima all over it. Complete with cardboard box surfing down hills.

KojiPro is literally one of maybe half a dozen developers that actually care about quality in their games.

Fuck you, Konami. I can only hope Kojima goes on to bigger and better things.

Pretty disappointing. No Silent Hills coming ever, at least not one with the collaborative efforts of Kojima and Del Toro. Blame it all on Konami's shift in business model to fuckin mobile.

Konami seems to be going out of its way to fuck itself over.

tbh they're profits have been dropping for the past 5 years or so. MGS is their project with the highest budget. Couldn't have been cheap to cast Kiefer Sutherland as Snake, not to mention image licensing for Norman Reedus in SH as well as contracting Guillermo Del Toro. Although I don't like it, it seems they cut ties because they couldn't keep doing it from a financial standpoint and that makes sense. They can make way more money from a bunch of cheap-ass shitty mobile games than they could with a few console titles.

They fired the entire staff from Kojima so they can make mobile shit? Yep, the boss says it all
"One must die and one must live. No victory, no defeat. The survivor will carry on the fight. It is our destiny... The one who survives will inherit the title of Boss. And the one who inherits the title of Boss will face an existence of endless battle." KONAMI is going to die off, you can already smell it miles away.

KONAMI can't do that, Kojima made Metal Gear, it's his baby, let his name be in their. The day when KONAMI is bankrupt is the day I march into KONAMIS base and start a party called "The Death of KONAMI, fuck yeah"
