So there's all sorts of concern and rumor based on different bits of evidence that Kojima has left Konami (or will be).
They renamed the LA studio he opened as to a generic Konami name (Konami LA Studios) and apparently have taken his studio's logo off of MGSV marketing materials as well.
Konami did issue this statement:
"Konami Digital Entertainment, including Mr. Kojima, will continue to develop and support Metal Gear products. Please look forward to future announcements."
Maybe they think he's leaving and just want to kind of take his name off of everything? Not sure but I guess something to keep your eye on. He is still supposed to be making Silent Hill there too. Maybe nothing happens for a while but I feel like there's smoke around so has to be a fire somewhere...
EDIT: Just another small example, the Kojima Productions twitter changing to be simply a MGS franchise twitter account:
MGS fans! We’re officially moving accounts to: @metalgear_en Follow us now and don’t miss out on all the latest news! http://t.co/IrqnUOKYds
