Lol Kojima be trolling =P
For real though isnt he doing Silent Hills?? I would like to see him finish that before he leaves. Also KojiPro can go back to being KCEJ and working on new Metal Gear games without him if thats what it comes down to.
Tbh though, I would love to see Kojima go indie for a few years at the end of his career like a few big name devs have been doing in Japan.

It wouldn't really surprise me considering the things he's got up to in the past. But why now?

Anything simple to keep his name in the news leading up to MGSV. Its easier to do this than make a new trailer.
I highly doubt its a troll though, I think Kojima is stepping back and taking a lesser role at Konami for awhile before he retires/leaves for indie. He may only have 2 or 3 games left at Konami and is no longer needed in his current role as VP.
