This quote by former Assistant Producer for Kojima Productions, Ryan Payton, certainly seems to indicate that there is a Metal Gear Solid 5 already in the works. This news is, of course, not entirely unexpected.
It's been long known that Metal Gear Solid 4 would be the final chapter in Solid Snake's story. The question that remains now is whether or not future titles will be flashbacks to a younger Snake, or if the games will have a new main character entirely. Kojima himself has also gone on record as saying that he would not be the director for any future MGS titles, but will still play a key role.
Ryan Payton just recently stepped down as AP for Kojima Productions, citing personal and family reasons for his departure. Kotaku has a brief interview with the man in which he discusses what it was like working on the Metal Gear Solid series.
It'll be hard not being involved in MGS5, but I've got the utmost confidence that Hideo Kojima, Ken Imaizumi, and our amazing team will put together another blockbuster game. I'll be cheering from the sidelines.
