As foretold, Konami today launched a teaser site for the next Kojima Productions title.

Depicted on the site is an engaging flash animation that shows a desolate field with dark brooding clouds looming overhead. Not a whole lot to go on, as is the case with most of Kojima’s ever-cryptic teasers. However, scans from the latest issue of Famitsu have indicated that an update is coming as soon as next week: May 18. That’s not a long wait, so we should know more soon, hopefully.

Interestingly, contained in the site’s meta keyword field are mentions of Metal Gear and MGS. While not definitive evidence, this does strongly suggest that the project being teased has something to do with the famous stealth-action series.
