Speaking to 1UP, the former Konami president said that he has three ideas for Metal Gear Solid 5, but would prefer to take a backseat on the project.
"I have three concepts for MGS5 already. What would be ideal for me with MGS5, though, is that we don’t do those," he said. "If the team picks one of those concepts, I have to get involved again, which I don't want to do.
"There are already so many good ideas from the staff, so if we select one of those, that would be really good. At that point I could really rely on them and take the step back to be the producer, which is the ideal situation, I think."
Kojima also expressed his desire to start work on an original project, claiming to have already thought up a potential concept. "Well, I want to create something new, and it’s difficult to explain since no one’s seen it before. I don't know if it would sell very well," he added.
"I've been warming this up for a long time, and I keep thinking that I'll try this idea. But ideas always change, so I really don’t know what the final outcome will be."
Metal Gear Solid 5 is expected to be released some time next year.
