Konami Digital Entertainment and Tencent to Release Joint Mobile Game

New Contra Title to Be Released as a Mobile Game in the Chinese Market

Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. will release the latest title in the popular Contra series of action shooting games, enjoyed across numerous platforms since the first game hit arcades in 1987, for the China market, in cooperation with Chinese internet service provider Tencent.

This new title is a side-scrolling shooting game developed specifically for Chinese customers as a mobile game for smartphones, and will retain the style and themes that Contra fans know and love.

Konami will continue to distribute new titles from its various IPs across a range of devices, platforms, and game formats, to provide customers worldwide with new and exciting entertainment.

Konami soll sein Entwicklungsstudio - ehemals Kojima Productions - in Los Angeles angeblich geschlossen haben. Das schreibt Sam Thompson, Senior Producer der Sony Worldwide Studios, auf Twitter.

Rund 35 Mitarbeitern soll in dem Metal Gear Online-Studio gekündigt worden sein. Konami hat sich zu dem Bericht bislang nicht geäußert.

Metal Gear designer Hideo Kojima was apparently not allowed to attend tonight’s Game Awards, per an announcement by host Geoff Keighley. A lawyer for Konami reportedly barred Kojima from attending, nor accept his awards. The Phantom Pain’s Kiefer Sutherland accepted one of Metal Gear’s awards on his behalf. When the news was revealed, the audience boo’d in protest.

“As you noticed,” said Keighley. “Hideo Kojima is not here with us tonight and I want to tell you a little about that. Mr. Kojima had every intention of being with us tonight, but unfortunately he was informed by a lawyer representing Konami just recently that he would not be allowed to travel to tonight’s awards ceremony to accept any awards. [crowd boos] He’s still under an employment contract. And it’s disappointing and it’s inconceivable to me that an artist like Hideo would not be allowed to come here and celebrate with his peers and his fellow teammates.”

Previous reports suggested Kojima had a non-compete through December, which may explain why Kojima was unable to show up to The Game Awards.

As Brian Ashcraft wrote about last night, a PR person at Konami accepted an award for The Phantom Pain at Sony’s PlayStation Awards in Japan last night.

Gerücht: Hideo Kojima hat Konami heute verlassen und verhandelt mit Sony Computer Entertainment
Hideo Kojima soll Konami heute offiziell verlassen haben und ein neues Studio mit ehemaligen Mitarbeitern von Kojima Productions aufbauen, dies berichtet Nikkei.com (via NeoGAF). Der kreative Kopf hinter Metal Gear soll außerdem in (finalen) Verhandlungen mit Sony Computer Entertainment stehen. Es wird zugleich erwartet, dass sein neues Spiel für PlayStation-Plattformen erscheinen wird (aber nicht exklusiv). Weder Kojima noch Konami oder Sony haben den Bericht bisher kommentiert.
