Metal Gear maker Hideo Kojima has partnered with Sony to create an all-new PlayStation 4 exclusive, but it'll probably be a little while before we get to see it in action. The auteur has been speaking to Japanese media, however, teasing in the latest issue of Famitsu magazine that there's more to his studio's logo than meets the eye.
"I can't really say [what that is] yet," he told the legendary publication. "But this logo has a secret. It has a full body, a really cool full body. We're planning on putting out a figure version of it." In fact, the ex-Konami employee thinks that the logo is ripe for adaptation. "Couldn't someone make like an anime or something with this character?" he quipped. Only Kojima.
So far, all we know about the icon's new title is that it will be action based. "When it's announced, you may think, 'That's not outstanding,' but you'll understand when you see it and play it," the cryptic creator said of the game. Don't expect to see anything until PSX in December at the earliest – the team's literally only just started work.

That logo gets the thumbs up from me.
Maybe its a vr game?
@themcnoisy They've said it's not, though they wouldn't mind doing one in the future.
that would make an awesome tattoo
I love how Kojima treats every one of his projects like it's an event. It kind of immerses you in them-games or otherwise, knowing everyone in the world is working together and able to participate. He's kind of like a real life Willy Wonka.
@get2sammyb oh yeah forgot about that.
@Totaldude911 unfortunately Konami have the keys to the chocolate factory.
@themcnoisy It's good konami has the keys. If they would've let kojima keep being himself, he would've bankrupted them with all of his delays, excessive production costs, and missing of deadlines. Everyone seems to blame konami for the fact that kojima has cost them hundreds of millions of dollars over the years that they'll never get back, and sales don't make up for it either.
Because i see kojima as a talented but flawed games creator who's trying to become a b-list hollywood director, i'm often berated for my opinion, but that's what i see out of it.
