Late last week, Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima revealed a new Zone of the Enders project. Fans of the sci-fi series have been waiting for Kojima to start work on a new Z.O.E. Thing is, he won't be doing much much work on it.

While he'll be acting as producer, Kojima won't be writing, designing, or directing the game. Instead, staff at Kojima Productions will be handling those duties.

Kojima will be offering his support. But as he is busy with his upcoming game, codenamed "Project Ogre", he cannot devote himself 110 percent to the new Z.O.E.

Hideo Kojima doesn't have to make Metal Gear Solid anymore, but he does have to make a new Zone of the Enders. Eventually.
