Kojima Comments About 'Metal Gear Survive'
While answering questions about "Death Stranding," Kojima was asked about Konami's "Metal Gear Survive." According to Gematsu, Kojima distanced himself from the game and adds that it had nothing to do with him. He reiterated that for him, "Metal Gear Solid" is about politics and espionage and that having strange elements like zombies in it makes the game out of character.
Shinkawa added that he finds the addition of zombies in the "Metal Gear" universe strange because he has not heard Kojima mention them. Furthermore, he explains that the game without a Metal Gear is weird and makes it a "Famicon version" instead.
Kojima Productions' "Death Stranding" has no confirmed released date but it is speculated to be in 2018 exclusively for the PS4.
