Tweet

What was previously just a rumor has now been confirmed - Konami has shut down Kojima Productions LA.

Konami released the following statement regarding the studio's closure:

"Konami has made the decision to close its Los Angeles Studio, effective immediately, due to the product development resources being restructured into a more centralized unit. This facility contributed to the recent Metal Gear Solid games. Konami will continue its operations to support all Metal Gear Solid titles, including the recently launched Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain and Metal Gear Online. Metal Gear Online is still scheduled to release for PC Steam in January 2016."

Kojima Productions LA most recently worked on both Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and the game’s online service, Metal Gear Online.
