Hideo Kojima is a very respected man, his MGS series has come a long way with MGS 4, the most anticipated game for millions across the globe. according to a news report on Eurogamer, Hideo wants to move on to other things:

“So I have to say, ‘Die, Snake,’ and really end it so I can move on to something else! Actually, it’s a game, so even if Snake dies, the game can live on. We have to kill him at a certain point.”

There is always the possibility that the series may be expanded onto the PSP as well. Kojima has a son who hates the console versions of Metal Gear Solid, but loved Portable Ops, and the opportunity to target this “very important and new” 13 to 15 year-old market is something Kojima is excited about.

However, he admitted he was getting to the stage where he had been trying to “pass the baton” to the younger members of his team, although being a stickler for perfection in all areas made it difficult to let go of.

no matter what happens to the series, one thing’s certain that MGS is a legendary and will remain popular for years to come.
