Kojima: I’m “100% involved” with Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Hideo Kojima has said he’s “100% involved” Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, despite reports he’s parted ways with Konami.

“I want to reassure fans that I am 100% involved and will continue working on Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain,” Kojima said via statement.

“I’m determined to make it the greatest game I’ve directed to date. Don’t miss it.”

Just like Konami’s earlier statement, Kojima doesn’t really address his role within the publisher.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is on track for its 1 September release.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve is the founder of Stevivor, which itself is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’ -- that made more sense back in 2001 when Steve first arrived in the country and Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.

Steve has recently gathered a career's worth of writing on swright.au, his personal portfolio.
