After the exit of Hideo Kojima, the Japanese video game designer and director of Kojima Productions, rumor has risen that technology director Julien Merceron has also left the company, unhappy that the company is concentrating mainly on mobile games.
This could mean, what lots of people have been guessing, that Konami will abandon making console games but maybe continue with the Pro Evolution Soccer series and Metal Gear, Online. The company has yet to comment on these reports.
