At a press event held in Tokyo yesterday, producer Hideo Kojima announced that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patroits has gone gold. Meaning, the game is now finished development-wise and is currently in the process of being sent to manufacturing in preparation for its June 12 worldwide release date.

While on the stand, Kojima noted that Metal Gear Solid 4 is “the conclusion to the Metal Gear Saga.” However, Konami president Fumiaki Tanaka accentuated the fact that MGS 4 won’t be Kojima’s last PlayStation 3 title, as he has mentioned in previous interviews before.
