Hearing: Konami closed the American Kojima Productions, 35 employees lost their jobs

Konami again reminds of its changed entity. The publishing house assures that everything is going on as it should and there is nothing to worry about: they say, even Kojima (Hideo kojima) does not quit at all, he is just on vacation. However, rumors do not stop saying the absolutely opposite. Today, for example, it became known that the Japanese corporation allegedly closed Kojima Productions la and reduced about 35 employees.

The source of the new gossip became George Brussard (George Broussard), one of the founders 3D Realms. The developer himself noted this as a rumor, but the senior producer echoes him Sony Computer Entertainment America Sam Thompson (Sam Thompson), which sadly broadcasts about the "end of the era" and calls for the disbanded command "to remain strong".

Kojima Productions la was https://casinracasino.co.uk/withdrawal/ located in Los Angeles and recently studied Metal Gear Solid V In general and Metal Gear Online in particular. What is interesting, The Phantom Pain It is sold very well, so a direct indication of why Konami I decided to dissolve the American studio, there is still no. Perhaps the Japanese will soon make an official statement and somehow explain the situation.

The best comments

They fired those who made MGS V, but said that they would not abandon the series. It is said that horseman switches to mobile games, as if the coin rings there and they hive to the sound of this very coin.
And now the question: what do you think, the next MGS will be in the style of Angry Birds or will build a base and attack each other sitting on the toilet?

The feeling when MGS V went on your bucket, almost highly maximum (with the exception of shadows and smoothing), while giving a schedule very pleasant to the eye, and this is given that this unit ported the MGS to a PC, and the same Watman not only goes on minimums, but does not plan.

I don’t know, of course, what is going on there, but it looks like a kapets from the side. They say that everything is OK and under control, but at the same time go into mobile development (although the reverse process is more likely), dissolve studios, close projects, announce Silent Hill for slot machines and Contra for mobile phones. Just corny comparing them with other large publishers “Everything OK” at Konami, even, does not look like a norm. I don’t want to draw parallels, but ThQ also had “everything ok” for a long time, then “difficulties, but everything is under control”, and then … no matter how insulting it was not for Kojima and MGS, but I sincerely do not want Konami from a large serious publisher to turn the publisher of the consumer goods for the tablet or disappear altogether at all.
