As Metal Gear Solid turns 27 years old, Hideo Kojima says "there are only a handful of people who participated" on the seminal classic who are "still a part of the new 'Kojima Productions'"

.

Hideo Kojima is reflecting on the original Metal Gear Solid, saying that there's only a few team members left who are still with him at Kojima Productions.

Less than a week after the release of Metal Gear Solid Delta, and two days after the 10th anniversary of Metal Gear Solid 5, September 3, 2025, marks the 27th anniversary of Metal Gear Solid (or its release in Japan, at least). And 27 years later, Hideo Kojima is still creating games, with his studio, Kojima Productions, releasing Death Stranding 2 just a few months ago.
