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.

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games.
