Hideo Kojima and Konami have not gotten along very well ever since he departed from the company in 2015 to venture on his own.Metal Gearis one of the earliest examples of the stealth game genre, and Kojima was the mastermind behind it. Kojima has not collaborated with Konami since his falling out, but he is going to be a part ofMetal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eaterin one way.
Kojima is a visionary when it comes to directing and writing video games; he is the Stanley Kubrick of the gaming world. He started his journey by joining Konami in 1986 and worked on some great games likeMetal Gears, Zone of Enders, Snatchers, andPolicenauts.
Hideo Kojima and his Team are Irreplaceable
Kojima and his team will not be a part ofMetal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eaterphysically, but he and his team are going to be credited for their contribution to the franchise, as mentioned by Noriaki Okamura during a live stream where the Konami team talked about their latest title in the franchise.
Kojima will be a part of the franchise in spirit only; that is the only way he and his team are going to be a part of the latest title. Referring to Kojima’s involvement with the game, Okamura said:
Mr. Kojima and all the original staff are ofcourse credited for their original roles. They were already included in the Masters Collection and they’ll be listed in MGSD: Snake Eater too. They are a part of these games too, so absolutely they are in.
It’s normal that Kojima is not really a part of this game, as the relationship between him and Konami has soured to a place of no return. After Kojima departed from Konami to venture on his own, he was also allegedly not allowed by Konami to attend that year’s Game Awards.
