Konami's Executive Director reveals plans to actively "utilize" past titles

Konami's Executive Director reveals plans to actively "utilize" past titles

According to a report by Ryokutya2089, Koji Kobayashi, Konami's executive director, revealed some of the company's future directions and plans in an interview with Famitsu, summarized as follows:

  • On the day of the WBC final, Professional Baseball Spirits A set a new record for the highest number of daily active users.
  • Many plans are being prepared for next year's 25th anniversary of Yu-Gi-Oh!
  • The company wants to establish Momotaro Dentetsu as a "pillar" of Konami
  • In order to make good use of past titles, it is important to establish a collaborative relationship with external developers.
  • It is also important to work with partners who can "understand" the series.
  • Konami plans to actively "utilize" past titles, including unpublished works, and convey these content to the right audience.
  • It is best to have the company's internal producers propose their own plans.
  • Operating e-sports tournaments is really difficult.
  • The Japanese market has not yet reached its peak or saturation.

Based on these statements, it seems that Konami might follow the rumored plan of collaborating with third-party developers on releasing new titles or remakes of well-known series such as Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania, and Silent Hill. A remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 is reportedly the most likely to happen as of now.
