Yes... Today a Dutch game site posted their interview with Hideo Kojima himself. When the following question was asked, he said:
Gamert: Hoe moeilijk is het om vaarwel te zeggen tegen een serie die zo sterk een onderdeel van jezelf geworden is?
Kojima: Eigenlijk ben ik helemaal niet verdrietig, het is niet moeilijk voor me omdat ik denk dat Metal Gear voortgezet gaat worden, net als bijvoorbeeld James Bond. Het enige verschil is dat ík de details niet meer zal verzorgen. Dat mag mijn nieuwe staf doen, die mogen –als ze willen- een nieuwe saga creëren rondom Metal Gear, die ik hoogstens produceer. Op een persoonlijk gebied, als ik me een beetje triest voel, dan is het wel omdat ik vaarwel moet zeggen tegen het karakter Solid Snake. Het is een karakter dat ik toch zelf gevormd heb…

Question: Was it difficult to say goodbye to this big franchise?
Answer Kojima: No, actually not. I believe the MGS range will continue. Just like the James Bond frinchise. This is a job for my new staff and they may use the MGS for a new franchise however they like. I won't be a part of this according the details, but will only be the producer.
The only sad thing is to say goodbye to Solid Snake, because I created that character.
Get the scoop on Comedy Central's exciting new cartoon show inspired by the iconic Golden Axe video game
Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.
GB: "With this feature, we will be taking a look at 15 of the best games from the PlayStation 2's vast library."
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.

"but will only be the producer. " yeah... he will probably be involved.
