Quoted from IGN's Interview with Kojima:
"IGN: Are there plans or are there any details that Mr. Kojima would like to reveal about future Metal Gear games?
Kojima: In the future you will probably see orthodox games like Metal Gear 3, 4, 5. They will be coming. But as for a non-orthodox Metal Gear game, we are doing research for a Metal Gear Online. It's not in production. We're just doing research. So, hopefully, if we can do it, we'd like to do it.
We don't know how it's going to come out, but there are three directions that Metal Gear could take. You've got the Sons of Liberty style game, where it's story based. You have got the VR Missions, that are non-story based. Like mission-clearing levels, things like that, and then you've got an online Metal Gear game. These are the three directions we can pursue with Metal Gear Solid.
IGN: So, I just have one last question. How many playable characters are there in the game?
Kojima: Maybe seven, in the sense that you have the Tanker chapter of Snake, the Tuxedo Snake, you've got him dressed in his gear from Metal Gear Solid 1; then you've got Raiden. You've got Raiden dressed as a ninja, and Raiden dressed in all sorts of variations.
IGN: OK, so there are playable characters each with different outfits. So, are there any more?
Kojima: Ahhh... (Smiles) that's a secret.
IGN: Thank you very much for your time. "
Legends never die.
