Kojima already seeking out his next title

It really should go without saying, but aside from
Metal Gear Solid 4 and
Metal Gear Online, Hideo Kojima has been hard at work figuring out his next move, outside of the
Metal Gear franchise. Rumors have been swirling for a year now; everything from a collaborative sequel to
Snatcher with Suda51, to a remake of
Policenauts, to the heavily anticipated and partially expected
Zone of the Enders 3. So, what's he working on?
We won't know until 2009, apparently. A formal announcement isn't to be made until after Kojima finishes penning the new title's scenario. This won't happen until after
Metal Gear Solid 4 is released and
Metal Gear Online given a big push. So, maybe if things go particularly well for Kojima, we'll hear something near the end of the year, but we'll just safely assume we won't know if any of the aforementioned games are coming around until 2009.
