In speaking with French magazine, IG, Hideo Kojima confirmed that Metal Gear Solid 5 is in the works and Solid Snake "may" be in it. Here are some of the quick and dirty details as translated from the magazine.
- Hideo Kojima confirms MGS5 but we don't know if the project is at the beginning or well in progress, and we don't know if Kojima will be in charge.
- MGS5 will use Fox Engine. The [Fox] demo showed wasn't in-game but only an internal demo for showing lights.
- MGS5 will be more of an infiltration game, with characters who can interact, as seen in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
- At the end of the interview, Kojima said he can't say more because the PR Ninja girl behind the door will cut him into little pieces if he talks too much.

As for Solid Snake being in it, despite being artificially aged to hell and back in Metal Gear Solid 4, here's what Kojima had to say.
"We have not yet finished with Solid Snake, despite the fact that I wanted to let him die at the end of Guns of the Patriots."
This doesn't mean that MGS5 will take place after MGS4. Let's face it, Snake just doesn't seem like he would be able to do much except maybe try to escape from the retirement home (false teeth can be thrown as a distraction). However, a prequel of sorts may not be out of the question and it certainly worked for Metal Gear Solid 3. Is Normandy a possibility?
"I had several ideas for a game featuring The Boss and the Cobra Unit during the invasion of Normandy. I then handed these plans over to the team so they could take over and make the game.
"I presented my ideas to the team during the summer of 2008. However, simply dropping MGS5 on the younger staff members was a bit heavy and there was resistance to doing it without my involvement."

It's kind of weird how, much like Snake, Kojima always says he's done and finished working on Metal Gear Solid, yet he always keeps coming back to it. I, for one, am beyond excited for a new entry in the Metal Gear Solid franchise.
