New Metal Gear title confirmed

Some alterations to Konami’s closely followed ‘Next’ teaser site have confirmed that the publisher is building up to the announcement of a new Metal Gear Solid title.

Though the last countdown resulted in nothing more than the appearance of a second countdown, the appearance of established franchise anti-hero Big Boss at least cements the Metal Gear credentials of the announcement.

However, those getting excited about the prospect of Metal gear Solid 5 would do well to take a deep breath and calm down – it’s still possible Konami could be building up to the announcement of an iPhone title, some DLC or even a retro remake.

The current countdown concludes on Sunday.
