Official site for Hideo Kojima's new development team gives some additional details on upcoming Metal Gear games.

TOKYO--Following its presentation in Los Angeles, Konami has opened the official Web site for Hideo Kojima's new development team, the modestly named Kojima Productions.

As GameSpot reported earlier, Kojima Productions fundamentally consists of the same developers that were previously at the Konami Computer Entertainment Japan development studio. That studio was merged into headquarters at the beginning of this business year, which means not only is Kojima no longer president of a Konami subsidiary, but he'll also be able to concentrate working on his games solely as a creator, something both he his fans are excited about.

Kojima released the following statement on his company's new site: "It has been 10 years since I started at Konami as a game designer and established the Kojima Team in Kobe. Over the last decade, we have leveraged Konami Computer Entertainment Japan's independence to create a variety of games. On April 1, 2005, our team reorganized as Kojima Productions. In the next 10 years, Kojima Productions will strive towards developing the highest quality and most creative games possible--making games based solely on the power of imagination."

Kojima Productions' site gives some additional details on the three games that were announcedjust yesterday: Metal Gear Acid 2 for the PSP, Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence for the PlayStation 2, and, last but definitely not least, Metal Gear Solid 4 for the PlayStation 3.
