After the launch of the phenomenal Metal Gear Solid 4 for PS3 this year, creator Hideo Kojima announced it to be the last installment in the MGS series.

In a recent chat with Kikizo, a gaming magazine site, Kojima indicated that his role with MGS was similar to that of Japanese anime director Hayao Miyazaki. During the chat he mentioned that he did have ideas for new games. Surprisingly, he indicated that MGS series won't be dead forever and that he may have to come back due to political (gaming industry), technological or business reasons.



Kojima further added that he'd let the younger team member to take his seat and go ahead with MGS 5. He may not be directly involved with the new game and would just be part of production team. Die-hard MGS fans can begin stalk the production studio or keep searching for some sneak previews.

Many shocking announcements of retirement have been made in the gaming industry; but none as shocking as Ken Kutaragi leaving the PlayStation team.

Will Hideo Kojima and MGS return soon? We sure hope so.
