Metal Gear Solid Rising is “A New Series”

Metal Gear Solid Rising producer Shigenobu Matsuyama mentions that the game could possibly turn into a series if it is a success, reports The MagicBox. He states that "MGS Rising is not a side story, they are aiming for two Metal Gear Solids, making a series out of another standard".

Konami also mentions that Hideo Kojima will continue to work on the future Metal Gear Solid games, but what role will he assume is unclear. Currently Kojima is the executive producer of Metal Gear Solid Rising.

Kojima has previously stated a desire to no longer be involved as much in the Metal Gear franchise.
