Kojima: The Phantom Pain Will Be the Last Metal Gear Solid

By Alex Osborn

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be the last entry in the Metal Gear Solid series, franchise creator Hideo Kojima has revealed. 

In an interview with IGN, the legendary game designer explained, "I always say 'this will be my last Metal Gear, but the games in the series that I've personally designed and produced — Metal Gear on MSX, MG2, MGS1, 2, 3, 4, Peace Walker, and now MGSV — are what constitute a single 'Metal Gear Saga.' With MGSV, I'm finally closing the loop on that saga."

Sure you are, Mr. Kojima. Sure you are.

Do you think The Phantom Pain will truly be the last entry in the Metal Gear Solid series, or is Kojima just trolling gamers like he all too often does?

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is set to release on September 1 for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PS3. It will be available two weeks later for PC.
