It really is an unprecedented situation, and despite a whole host of anticipated titles out this fall, the release of Metal Gear Solid 5 carries special significance as a result. Certainly no sprawling, open-world 50-100+ hour epics like what we’re seeing with The Phantom Pain. But given the direction the company is moving, it seems if there would be new games in the series, they’d be mobile or microtransaction focused, or both.

Konami will retain ownership of the series after all. I’m not saying Metal Gear will disappear from existence entirely. That will surely disappointed fans who would love to play MGS6 in a few more years, but perhaps it’s good that the series gets a farewell that’s so high quality. It’s a weird situation, because you wouldn’t imagine that a series so beloved with such a rich history of Metal Gear would actually end in this age of unlimited sequels that spawn in the wake of anything remotely successful, but the combination of Kojima wanting his role with the series to be over, and Konami seeming reluctant to continue it in the same capacity combines to the simple fact that it seems as if Metal Gear Solid will be going out on top with The Phantom Pain. We know that there will be a GTA 6 and TESVI down the line, but the same is not necessarily true for Metal Gear Solid. So in that sense, this isn’t like the release of Grand Theft Auto 5 or Skyrim.
