Kojima promises to work on the next ZOE
After Hideo Kojima finishes working on his last pair of Metal Gear Solid games (or so it seems for now), the A-list producer will have more time on his hands to work on other games. For the fans of his other brainchild, Zone of the Enders, (I’m looking at you, papajag, TheRockness) good news: Kojima posted on his blog that he would be working on the next ZOE…someday.

Zone of the Enders 2, also known as Anubis in Japan, didn’t exactly turn out to be a chart-topper. “Everything was due to an error by me, the producer,” Kojima confessed. “At that time, if I hadn’t made a mistake with the release date, Anubis might have ended up a major Kojima Productions title to follow MGS, still seeing development as a series.”
Now, Kojima’s got a much better plan in mind – a release date mishap not being one of them. “Also, we feel that if we do it, we’d like to make Anubis succeed this time,” he wrote. “I already have a game plan and method for sales in my head.” But if this game plan involves another chain of teaser countdowns, please Kojima-san, spare us the agony.
Right now, however, the development queue at Kojima Productions still has its hands full, to he can’t promise working on ZOE just yet. “I cannot make a promise about time,” he wrote. “However, I can promise a sequel.”
