FUCK
You're gonna be super disappointed. I'm sorry, for you, for me, and for everyone who loves Kojima stunts. But yeah, it's not happening.
Honestly though... does Mogren actually not mean anything? "Mr. Kojima Gone" would actually be a coincidence? Coming from the man who just revealed two AAA games in a row by essentially pretending they were "inconsequential", unknown indie games... one of which was an elaborate crazy puzzle demo he expected the internet to take weeks to decipher because it essentially was solved by yelling gibberish into the PS4 microphone? I mean, of all people to do something this crazy on such a huge scale, Kojima would be the perfect candidate.

Nah, Kojima knew that getting fired was the only way he could get away from MGS for good, so he planned on doing something to get him fired all the way back then.

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
The only thing I heard people get out of the Mogren part of the name was how it contained the word, "ogre," which was the supposed codename for Kojima's upcoming Fox Engine game, which turned out to be MGS5.

I can't imagine this not making kind of a huge splash if it does turn out to be a "hoax".
To be fair, I'm still not getting my hopes up and I still think this is way too crazy but in a sense, the coincidences and craziness surrounding this are way too interesting to pass up. It's not wise to get our hopes up, it's probably flat out stupid, but isn't this still kinda fun?
Seriously, what do you guys make of the anagram? Do you guys think Mogren is a last name Kojima picked at random just for fun, and ended up accidentally predicting what would end up happening? That + the hints that Kojima knew well in advance within Ground Zeroes itself?
It's just so weird that a man who knew well in advance he would get fired and have his name removed from everything he created for a company he was a huge part of... would just... accept to temporarily work as a contractor to finish his final game he won't get official credit for... that he'd just... accept that fate and not even move on. It's even weirder that Konami would be willing to hire him as a contractor after the falling out. The whole situation is just flat out strange.
Too much sausage on twitter.

As of yet, no one really knows. All we have for now are rumors and speculation.

This, along with the Deja Vu GZ mission, where you have to use the black light to erase all of the Kojima-directed MGS logos hidden on the base, and Kaz says "You might be able to erase the markings, but the memories will never disappear"...
I dunno, man. Hell of a coink-ee-dink.

Is there a crazier fanbase in the industry than the Metal Gear one? I kinda feel sorry for whichever publisher hires/contracts him next.
Adding to that all the crazy rumors...
Kojima can't comment on twitter because he's scared it'll be a breach of contract, then he goes on to make a crazy E3 2015 trailer for the game with his name all over it, gives it to the man who helped him kick off the crazy reveal for the game so he can air it to millions of people, and Konami is fine with that or has no recourse somehow.
Meanwhile superbunnyhop reports that a KojiPro employee (who is under contract with Konami to finish up the game) tells him that Konami is making KojiPro's work more difficult by cutting the power at the office and other crazy stuff... all to make sure that the game they're financing is... more difficult to make?
Anyway, I'll let this go now, this has been fun

Reply from Batzi:
"Someone tell him that Mogren was technically the hint. OGRE is in it. The whole Mody Dick Studio thing was co-planned with Ludvig Forsell (music composer) who chose Mogren for the trick. Joakim came out of no where and it was only a coincidence that it was an anagram for Kojima."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I WILL BUY TWENTY COPIES OF THE GAME IF THIS HAPPENS.
Fair enough... I guess?
I mean, how many coincidences are there with this story?
This is absolutely insane, they're trolling without meaning to now, apparently.

is this going to end in phoning a random Italian specialist on anagrams
Worthy necrobump.
This is a really nice find but, as others have said, Silent Hills has been cancelled and there was some inside info on Konami's work conditions. As hard as it is to believe, Konami really is that stupid.
Denial or lead in to the truth?
I honestly don't understand why they would go through the trouble of signing on everyone on a temporary contract so that the original creators get to finish their game while simultaneously removing all references crediting Kojima AND making their work conditions terrible, as if to hinder their work despite having signed them on to continue the game they are funding themselves. That's not stupidity, that's insanity. I guess I'm one to talk

I'm not subscribing to the idea that this is an elaborated hoax, but you mean to tell me that Joakim came out of nowhere and it was coincidence that it was an anagram for Kojima?
I mean, of all the names in the world they picked the one that could be rearranged into Kojima? That's the mother of all coincidences.

Don't ever believe anything Batzi says. Ever. Tbh.
