Time paradox? It’s too early to say, but Metal Gear Solid 5 is on the way. The UK’s Official PlayStation Magazine had famed series director Hideo Kojima testify to a full new title in the Metal Gear Solid saga, and if we had a copy of the magazine in front of us, we’d tell you all about it. Sorry!

All we know for sure is that Kojima is back in charge, and we can hazard a guess that a covert operative (equipped with a cardboard box and smokes) will once again combat an insidious conspiracy, destroy a giant robot, and somehow save the world, all while pushing the boundaries of video game storytelling and his chosen hardware platform. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Update: Never mind, it looks like MGS5 is not actually happening quite yet.

Thanks, Jamie!
