Big Boss Wants You: Kojima Hiring For "Next MGS"
See Full ImageOkay, so you're not into Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. You want a true-blue Metal Gear Solid installment where stealth actually exists.
If that's the case, you've been waiting for Hideo Kojima to announce Metal Gear Solid 5, even if there's no knowing when it might show up.
The good news is that Kojima has revealed via Twitter that he's currently hiring for the "next MGS." Linking to a GDC job portal site named "Big Boss Wants You: The 'Next' MGS," the team is seeking people to fill programming, game design, art, sound, and production positions. The game in question is being made for "high-end consoles and PC" and yes, it'll utilize the FOX Engine.
Positions are available in both Japan and California, which raised some eyebrows. As it turns out, Kojima Productions producer Ken-ichiro Imaizumi later Tweeted that they will open a new studio in the US if they can "find the right people." In the past, Kojima has said he wanted to step away from the MGS series and try something new, but he has also made it clear that he doesn't want to disappoint his loyal following.
So when might an unveiling occur? Well, based on this widespread hiring, probably not for a while. But at least the term "next MGS" will get people excited and we have something definite to anticipate.

Metal Gear has been on the PC before. In fact, it originally began on the PC before it moved to consoles. All but two titles of the main series have been on PC.
I still want to try the arcade version but I doubt that'll ever happen :(

That's the one blindspot in the MGS timeline that could be well-served by a full-throated MGS game. I still love my MGS "Next Generation" idea, but that can wait until later.

Maybe one day.
I think that this will be the final BB game and even though it won't be a PS3 exclusive, it's good to see MGS come back to big boy consoles. PW was amazing, but would have been so much better on home consoles.

Honestly though, great news! I gotta pick up the MGS collection still, but a new MGS is exactly what I'd like to be playing. Can't wait to hear more!
