Kojima Promises Zone Of Enders 3 News

Last week, Hideo Kojima said that the team at Kojima Productions are "really considering" the prospect of doing another Zone of Enders game. Now, via the Japanese Kojima Productions blog, he's promised that Zone of Enders 3 will be made at some point.

"I cannot make a promise about time. However, I can promise a sequel," said Kojima, before then going on to talk about why the last Zone of Enders game didn't record strong sales figures despite receiving high review scores.

"It's a title that even now, six years later, is extremely well received by the press and users," said Kojima. "However, due to errors in setting the release time frame, while it was a medium hit, it did not achieve the expected numbers."

"Everything was due to an error by me, the producer," Kojima admitted. "At that time, if I hadn't made a mistake with the release date, Zone of Enders: The 2nd Runner might have ended up a major Kojima Productions title to follow MGS, still seeing development as a series."

"We'd like to make another Zone of Enders sequel at some point," Kojima stated, speaking on behalf of the Kojima Productions team. "Also, we feel that if we do it, we'd like to make it succeed this time. I already have a game plan and method for sales in my head. However, we don't know if it will be green lighted. The production lines within Kojima Productions are currently full."
