They are taking Kojima productions off everything, either the studio has been spun off and he is going independent or it has been obsorbed. Something big is going on...Why? Not being an executive anymore doesn't he'll suddenly stop working on MGSV or Silent Hills...
You can't just do this shit without announcing it first. :/ Where are the so-called journalists? Busy scratching their balls I guess.
Isn't this guy, like, 50+ years old? Taking a break or even early retirement doesn't seem too far fetched.

In Taiwan? No, that visit was just MGS5 business. If he really was planning to move to Sony, those meetings would have taken place in Japan, and more importantly, they would have been kept secret.
That would be awful. Kojima is a great game designer. He doesn't have to just do Metal Gear for fuck's sake.
I'm trying to figure out how this racist thing fits here
And the Kojima Productions logo or site aren't needed when Konami rebranding as Kojima Productions rolls out.Maybe the 'A Hideo Kojima Game' mention isn't going to be necessary when every Konami logo is accompanied with a 'A Hideo Kojima Company'.

Holy shit. He wont leave mgs5 development right? Shiiiiiiiit.
That sounds like he's working on the game from outside Konami, like a freelancer.http://www.videogamer.com/ps4/metal...mi_responds_to_hideo_kojima_exit_rumours.html
"Konami has responded to rumours circulating this morning suggesting that Metal Gear Solid director Hideo Kojima has left the company.
In a statement provided to VideoGamer.com, a Konami representative said: "Konami Digital Entertainment, including Mr. Kojima, will continue to develop and support Metal Gear products. Please look forward to future announcements."
Rumours of Kojima's departure appeared on Reddit earlier today after it was discovered that Kojima Productions' logos had been removed from the Metal Gear Solid website.
Kojima Productions' website also redirects to Konami's Metal Gear Solid portal.
The representative declined to comment further when asked about the changes made to the developer's website."
He'll never retire.He said it was his last MGS game. He is probably retiring.
I'm assuming part of this has to do with Kojima actually wanting to finally end the Metal Gear series and obviously that won't sit well with Konami. Understandably it's the company's biggest cash cow, there's no way they'd let it go. They've likely taken over complete control of the IP.
This was bound to happen eventually. Hideo can't work on the series until his death.

I'm worrying about Silent Hills now.
Something big is about to happen.....this is so much fun.
Ok, now this is getting even deeper. They removed his name from the Legacy Collection too!

It doesn't make sense though. Konami has never forced Kojima back to Metal Gear, it's always he who comes back himself when he sees the younger staff not being able to make a good MGS game.
Sure, Konami will want to continue Metal Gear beyond BB/Solid Snake, but that's not an area Kojima has issues with.
