While Kojima Productions only recently released its first original game as an independent developer, the development studio had been a subsidiary of Konami for years beforehand since its official establishment in 2005. Kojima Productions’ time as a Konami studio saw the developer focusing heavily on the Metal Gear Solid franchise, developing the games from 2005 to 2015, as well as dabbling in other iconic Konami series like the Silent Hill follow-up P.T. and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. Now, a recent post from Hideo Kojima has revealed that, after five years in its current home, Kojima Productions will be moving into a new office.

Kojima made several posts on his official Twitter account on Thursday sharing pictures of Kojima Productions’ now empty offices. While the new location is not mentioned or shown by Kojima in any of the tweets, one tweet shows off a wall filled with black-and-white photos as well as murals drawn by guests and friends of Kojima with a signature and drawing from popular American comedian Conan O’Brien prominently featured near the front of the wall.
While the move is clearly bittersweet for Kojima, Kojima Productions’ move comes at a time when speculation about the studio’s next project has been rampant. Last month saw Kojima Productions hiring for a variety of positions with the developer reportedly working on multiple games and even creating an anime. While Kojima Productions has yet to officially reveal any upcoming projects, the studio’s eccentric executive has been known in the past to tease fans with hints about the studio’s upcoming projects.
