Metal Gear Solid 5 will launch between 2013 and 2014, analysts have predicted.
The game is expected to be released between April 2013 and May 2014, according to Japanese investment analyst company Nomura Securities.
A financial report carried out on Konami revealed the potential for 24% growth over the coming financial year, and a further 15% the following year, with the release of Metal Gear Solid 5 attributed to the latter.
Following its strong social gaming performance, Nomura Securities has raised its outlook on Konami from neutral to buy, reports Andriasang.
Metal Gear Solid 5 was confirmed by series creator Hideo Kojima last November.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots was said to be the last game in the series to star protagonist Solid Snake.
Konami recently released Metal Gear Solid HD Collection on Xbox 360 and PS3.
The collection featured HD ports of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, as well as the first two Metal Gear titles released on MSX.
