Konami: “Mobile is where the future of gaming lies”

Konami’s getting crazier in the wake of problems with Hideo Kojima, today advising that they’ll begin to focus on mobile games.

Speaking with Nikkei (via Google Translate), Konami Digital Entertainment CEO Hideki Hayakawa said that his company will “continue to aggressively expand” to mobile games, adding that “gaming has spread to a number of platforms, but at the end of the day, the platform that is always closest to us, is mobile.”

“Mobile is where the future of gaming lies,” Hayakawa asserted.

It was also confirmed that console titles like Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and PES 2016 will continue ahead as planned.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when 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.
