Polygon has a translation of a report in Nikkei confirming that Hideo Kojima officially left Konami as of today, and is in the process of establishing his own studio. Rumors have been flying for months about the future of the famed designer of the Metal Gear Solid series, and this is not the first "confirmation" of his departure, but the relationship there seems to be ruined, with the most recent news on the situation being word that Konami prevented Kojima from attending the recent game awards. Thanks nin.
