Report Claims Konami Is Stopping All AAA Game Production Except For PES
There has been a lot of speculation as to what Konami are going to do next, now that Metal Gear Solid V is out. There has been a theory that the publisher could pack it all up, choosing to develop mobile games over AAA titles going forward.
Well a new report by french site Gameblog, as corroborated by Eurogamer, says that the publisher is going to be leaving all AAA production behind, except for the case of Pro Evolution Soccer. The same site, also claimed that worldwide technology director Julien Merceron had left the company due to this new focus.
I'm not 100% sold on this, but it does seem possible. It really would be sad to see the company move away from their roots. Perhaps, if it is true though, we could see franchises like Metal Gear and Silent Hill leased out to other developers. That would be ideal.
