Kojima finally speaks: ‘I want to reassure fans that I am 100% involved’ in Metal Gear Solid V

Konami’s behind-the-scenes saga with one of its star developers continues, and I’m not skipping the cutscenes.

The company just issued a new statement about the state of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Konami reconfirmed the stealth-action game is due out in September. The company then shared the first statement from Kojima since rumors arose that he is leaving the company he made his career with.
