Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots cover.

Although Hideo Kojima is best known for Metal Gear Solid, the famous game designer thought about leaving the series a couple of times. He may finally get a chance to do something else after the completion of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and Metal Gear Solid: Rising. 

Speaking through a translator, Hideo Kojima revealed what his future plans might be once the two aforementioned games are completed in a recent video interview with the European Playstation.Blog:

It will be kind of too late if I start thinking about after I’ve finished with Peace Walker and Rising. I’ll probably have to plan before. But I always want to do my next original title and that’s always on my mind. And, as I said before, I could kind of produce some other titles such as Zone of the Enders and I will like to plan that doing the producer side and also creating my original new title.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will be released sometime in 2010 for the PSP while Metal Gear Solid: Rising has no release date for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

I wonder what kind of game he will go after.. FPS! Lol

That would be nice, a new IP would sound good.

as long as he can get away from all the slow nagging talk.

Just like he wanted to after MGS4? Give me my Zone of bloody Enders already! :(

Can't wait to see what he's working on. But if it is the FPS he's been talking about for awhile now, I'll got into it with muted expectations. I love third person action games, and I especially love Kojima's third person action games. Hopefully he'll stick within that general area of game design.

Make ZOE 3 first

Is he talking about Project S?

"Kojima wants to create a new original game after Peace Walker and Rising."? No he doesn't. He just says that so that he doesn't seem obsessed with Metal Gear. Just like I say I plan to stop touching myself and get a real girlfriend.

i want ZOE
