Konami looks to future with "major" title

Posted on March 8th, 2008 at 11:27 EDT

With Metal Gear Solid IV set to release worldwide this June, exclusively for the PlayStation 3, Konami is not taking any breaks which elucidates why they have recently teamed up with the Spanish videogame developer, Mercury Steam, to develop an unannounced title for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms.

Konami explains that this title will be a major role-player in their 2009-2010 lineup. Dave Cox, the head of product planning at Konami Digital Entertainment explains:

"With the development of New International Track and Field coming to an end, it is fitting that we are ready to announce this significant addition to our European Development roster.

"Mercury Steam is an exciting and very talented group, and their plans for the first Europe-grown title for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 are both ambitious and ground-breaking. We look forward to unveiling full details of this stunning title further down its development cycle."

Like mentioned above, there are no details which surrounds this title other than it is expected to be one of the bigger titles in 2009 or 2010. We'll keep you informed about anything and everything that surfaces up on this latest Konami project.

Kojima was just complaining about the lack of space on a BD-50 and now Konami wants to jump down to 1/6 of it?  Does NOT make sense...

man they can do so much better if its only for ps3, cuz wit 360 its jus holding them back an keeping them from making it better! as for mgs4 better stay on ps3 cuz 360 doesnt deserve mgs

I have to agree with a few other people on this one. Konami barely made MGS4 fit onto a 50GB Blu-Ray disc, and now they want to make a multiplatform game? Ha ha. I guess the 360 version of this new game will come out on 3or 4 discs or something. I think that developers are being held back when they develop for the Xbox 360.

I hope that this new title is an action/adventure game or a 3rd person game of some sort... I don't even want to see another FPS made by another developer next year. I can't wait to see what type of game this will be.

As long as Kojima Productions make great PS3 exclusives, they'll keep my custom. I'm kinda bummed with what Konami's doing with Silent Hill, neither SH Origins nor SH5 have that magic the first three TRUE Silent Hill's did. I hope the original SH team is working on something amazing, preferably PS3 exclusive making the most of its superior spec.

They should just make ZOE3.

Honestly, Konami is getting too much credit for Kojima's work. Without Kojima I could are f'n less what this new project. Simply telling me Konami is working on a new title has little to no bearing or need for excitement.

@ Hush404 you are so right... MG isn't the only series KONAMI has had a part in... but to my knowledge... MG and ZOE are the only two titles to be made by "GOD" himself... Hideo Kojima.... (Clapping and sh1t)..... w/e Kojima Productions is willing to make, Konami will just want in cuz they know that sh1t gon sell fosho... for example... us eagerly awaiting MG and ZOE fans... we got MGS4 on the way, and we can only hope pray for a new ZOE... "GOD", i hope your reading this sh1t... UPDATE: and let's not forget Lunar Knights... another K.P. masterpiece...

It's impossible to have the words "major" and "Xbox" in the same boat.

Zone of the Enders 3! Now thats something I want to be a part of. They really need to make another one and NOT put it on the 3fixme.Honestly I dont know what else Konami makes. Oh yeah Castlevania.

This is just for Konami beacuase Hideo will work in the MGS movie once MGS4 is done, a Sony Pictures movie by the way.
