Solid Snake Japanese voice actor: ‘Kojima Productions has disbanded’ - NeoGAF

Akio Otsuka, the Japanese voice actor for Snake in the Metal Gear Solid series, wrote out a heartfelt goodbye to Kojima Productions on Twitter today. "Kojima Productions was forced to disband, but it appears that the work that the team has been putting their utmost effort into is nearly complete," Otsuka said in a tweet. "I'm not exaggerating when I say that I expect it will become their greatest masterpiece. I couldn't help it. I just wanted to say 'Kept you waiting, huh?' (Laughs.) But even if this is the end, Metal Gear Solid is immortal!" We don't know the fate of the Kojima Productions staff after work on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is complete. In fact, this is probably the most official statement we've gotten about the company's status. Prior to this, reports citing sources from within the studio claimed Kojima Productions' senior staff are working on Metal Gear Solid V as contractors, rather than permanent employees, and founder Hideo Kojima plans to leave alongside upper management when their contract expires in December.

Plus it's probable Konami will make direct sequels with a new studio. Then we'll have a similar situation to 343i and Halo where the old fans and new fans are practically at war with each other. Fun!
