New Zone of the Enders a High Priority for Kojima Productions

[admin]

Metal Gear Solid's getting plenty of time in the spotlight this generation, but what about Kojima Productions' other popular franchises? The official European PlayStation blog recorded a chat with Hideo Kojima at GamesCom back in August, where the celebrated game designer expressed a serious interest in revisiting Zone of the Enders.
"Actually, we do love [Zone of the Enders] as well," Kojima responded to a fan-submitted question about the PlayStation 2 mecha-combat series. "However, Kojima Productions has a long list of things that we want to bring out -- and of course Zone of the Enders is one of the [games] on the top of the list," he continued.
As encouraging as that sounds, you probably shouldn't expect a Z.O.E. sequel on PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 anytime in the near future. "...We have to manage with staffing, and we have to work around the projects, therefore it's not going to be out too soon. But we are really considering it," explained the Kojima Productions boss.
