'Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots' Game Launch

The game publisher has confirmed that "Metal Gear Solid 5" has sold 5 million copies of it all over the world, according to Bidness Etc.

Konami, the game publisher, has stated that the game was a hit with the fans and gamers alike and has won praise from many gaming websites. Even after the controversy between the game publisher and the game developer, Kojima Productions, it still gave what many players have been waiting for.

Konami can now claim that the franchise is a success. The game has sold over 5 million copies, according to a company report for the second quarter. This includes all of the sales on all platforms, including the digital purchases, according to the Express.

There are also some talks of plans for another title of the popular series, according to Kotaku. The famous director behind the series, Hideo Kojima, has not stated anything about the plans for now. He did not confirm if he will or not be involved with the next title if it will come true.

Konami has stated that Kojima is currently on vacation and has not left the company. This has left fans wondering whether the next game has been confirmed or not.

It is speculated that Kojima will not be involved with the next title with the controversy of removing his name off the "The Phantom Pain's" box art and other issues between him and the game publisher, according to sources. It also seems that Kojima has already said goodbye to the series.

"When we start development, a large-scale investment will become necessary," stated the game publisher in a news article.

There are also no details of the game like a release date or anything else for the sequel of "Metal Gear Solid 5". Konami has stated in the past that they will continue to develop and support in making more games for the "Metal Gear" franchise.
