Konami plans to return to famous console franchises

Konami plans to return to famous console franchises

Pro Evolution Soccer and Yu-Gi-Oh perform well on mobile and console platforms. Konami sees a need to produce both series. But according to Saso, the company intends to revisit its other world-famous franchises in the near future. He also mentioned creating new intellectual property "for all ages."

After ухода Hideo Kojima in 2015 and the reformation of Kojima Productions into an independent studio, Konami has released only one game in the Metal Gear series - Metal Gear Survive. The publisher also owns the rights to Silent Hill and Castlevania, projects for which there have been no projects for a long time. However, the company has revived the Contra series - it will be released this month Contra: Rogue Corps on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
