Update on Hideo Kojima and Konami's Relationship and Future Plans

TapTechNews June 30th news, Hideo Kojima, the game producer who once led the development of the Metal Gear Solid series and achieved brilliant achievements, has not had a harmonious relationship with his old employer Konami. Now, Konami has expressed the willingness to work with Hideo Kojima again to jointly develop games.

In a recent live stream, Noriaki Okamura, who served as the producer of the Metal Gear Solid series, talked about this topic. He stated that although the possibility of Hideo Kojima and Konami cooperating again is currently not high, he very much hopes to be able to work with Mr. Kojima and the past team members again.

Noriaki Okamura admitted that when Hideo Kojima left Konami at the beginning, it was indeed not a perfect parting. He also understands that as time has passed and everyone has their own new goals and plans, Konami should not force the past departed employees to return.

However, in the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake project, there are still many veteran developers who participated in the series development in the past. Noriaki Okamura himself, the producer of many derivative works of the Metal Gear Solid series, is also involved in it. It is believed that with this experienced team, it can bring players a remake work that is true to the original.

TapTechNews noticed that Noriaki Okamura also confirmed that he will sign and thank Hideo Kojima for his contribution to the series in Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake. It is reported that this work will be released next year, while another highly anticipated remake work under Konami, Silent Hill 2, is about to meet players soon.
