In 2015, Hideo Kojimawho had made a name for himself in the industry with Metal Gear, parted ways with Konami after a well-known dispute that left everyone stunned.

However, Noriaki Okamuraproducer of the Metal Gear license at Konami, has not forgotten the Japanese creative and values that It would be “a dream” to see him direct a new game again.
