The conflict resulted in the founding of an independent studio, which has previously developed Death Stranding, and is now producing the second installment of the series for Sony and a secret project for Microsoft.
Last week, the first players received physical copies of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 and confirm an unexpected solution – the end credits of the ported games (new “credits”) do not include Hideo Kojima, David Hayter and other creators, and the studio does not directly mention about the developers originally involved in the project, and simply thanks “all the staff and fans of the original Metal Gear series.” Konami probably decided only to make a laconic mention due to the lack of involvement of the indicated specialists in the preparation of the new release.
