Video game company Konami recently confirmed that it has closed its Kojima Productions Los Angeles development studio. Ars Technica said the studio was responsible for the online portion of “Metal Gear Solid V.”
In a statement to Polygon, the company said, “Konami has made the decision to close its Los Angeles Studio, effective immediately, due to the product development resources being restructured into a more centralized unit. This facility contributed to the recent Metal Gear Solid games.”
Konami assured the public that it will be business as schedule as they provide support to all published titles of its popular video game series, including the “Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain” and “Metal Gear Online.” It also said in its statement that “Metal Gear Online” is scheduled for release in January 2016 for PC Steam.
Kotaku deduced that the closing of the LA studio could be a cost-effective move for Konami, as it mulls over plans to release another “Metal Gear” title.
