Last week, a story stated that "multiple" Unsounded Hill games were in development, to glucinium revealed future year as character of Konami's attempt to re-establish itself as a premium game developer. That report declared that one of the spick-and-span games was being developed aside a "spectacular" Japanese Studio, which Gematsu claims is Kojima Productions.

That mightiness make sense, as Kojima Productions is certainly a prominent Nipponese studio.

Gematsu has established some legitimacy with leaks in past age, but its write up has been disputed.
