Gamespot has reported that Konami and Hideo Kojima's Kojima Productions are going to part ways soon.
"After we finish MGSV, Mr. Kojima and upper management will leave Konami. They said their contract ends in December," says Gamespot's source.
Gamespot's source than stated, "At a team meeting, Mr Kojima explained that team have to be one and make a good game for fans."
And finally, Gamespot then reported that, "Kojima, now 51, joined Konami in 1986. His departure from the company will bring an end to nearly three decades of service. In other developments, Konami has begun erasing the Kojima Productions logo from all official Metal Gear art, and it has demoted Kojima off its executive team. Meanwhile, Kojima Productions' branding has also been removed from Twitter, the official Metal Gear website, and even the LA office listing."
