During the panel at PAX, Kojima answered some questions regarding the Metal Gear franchise, how it came to be, and what the future may hold.
In a new corporate update, Konami has revealed that since its launch in 1987, the Metal Gear series has sold over 60 million copies worldwide.
Well done Metal Gear, my second favourite gaming franchise behind Resident Evil, i still hope Bluepoint are working on a Metal Gear Solid remake for PS5, that would be my gaming dream.
When Bluepoint teased their next game at Christmas the unrevealed game was in a plain cardboard box with a upside down exclamation point........it surely could only mean one thing.......SNAAKKKKEEEEE.

The Metal Gear series has sold more than 56.9 million copies as of the end of December 2020.
It’s a hell of a series... except for V, but man I remember when Snake Eater came out. It really made me start looking at games differently like more than just being “gamey”. Awesome Intro and a hell of story. The end when the flowers turn from white to red, just mwah!
They're pretty good.
"Kojima would really love to make a game with The Boss as a main character. But that would not be a spin-off, Kojima would make that as a main part of the series."
