I'll believe it when I see it but also omg yes someone please save these franchises. This goes along with the rumors over the past month than Sony and Kojima were going to go back and finish Silent Hills.

Much as I love Metal Gear, I think it's best that the series remains over and done with.

I mean, unless Kojima feels like finally finishing Act 3 of MGSV.

Why would Konami consider selling these instead of just licensing? I know Konami is basically just pachinko machines anymore but what else do they have if they sell these? Bomberman?

Considering Star Wars sold for 4 billion to Disney what's a good price for these franchises? Even 250-500 million seems high for these franchises but anything less and why would Konami even bother?

MGS has a little more life you could squeeze out of it. At the very least, MGR2 and maybe a MG1 and 2 remake.

And also an anti-nuke message

I just want them to get Metal Gear so we can get remakes more than anything.

Would Konami really give up that Castlevania Pachinko money?

(X) Doubt

Why would Konami sell these and not just license them out?

i think konami does other things beside video game's.

they also retain the rights to other ip's (Contra/suikoden)

After checking again this is piggybacking on a previous rumour that Sony was bringing back Silent Hill, but that specified that it would still be owned by Konami. That would be much, much more believable.

Like I see the situation as being we're moving to the next gen and konami has no developers on staff that can handle that so why not license out your franchises so that you can continue to make money on them

I am genuinely amazed they have not made a Suikoden gacha game given the cast size and game mechanics they could utilize
