The oft forgotten and under-appreciated designer responsible for Metal Gear: Ghost Babel and both Metal Gear AC!D titles, Shinta Nojiri is currently working on a third person shoot-em-up titled “NeverDead” where the main character is an immortal whose interests include fighting monsters, telling stories about the French and having his body parts violently removed. It’s a rip-roaring adventure for the whole family!

Cool stickers bro.

No.
And no.
So much for “news.”

So, it appears that Kojima is going to be actually working on a new IP after all. Not only that, but it’s an adventure game. That’s right, fans of Snatcher and Policenauts are probably freaking out right about now. By the sounds of things, Kojima is teaming up with 5pb, a developer of Japanese adventure titles, (games which never make it to Western shores). Kojima Productions already has enough on its plate, so Kojima is working independently on the project by the sounds of things.
