In November 2011, Kojima discussed with "PlayStation Official Magazine (UK)" the series' future commenting an upcoming "Metal Gear Solid 5". Kojima said: "I think we'll probably have to make it sequel to "MGS4" at some point, but what that will be, we have no idea." Kojima stated that when Konami does get around to building the game, he will have less influence than he had on previous iterations in the series. After the mixed fan reactions of the reveal of the rebooted action gameplay focused spin-off "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance", Hideo Kojima reassured fans that an "authentic stealth "Metal Gear Solid"" sequel would be coming in the future.
