Kojima showing new Fox Engine next month

Hideo Kojima has revealed that the new Fox Engine will be demoed on 30 August.

In celebration of the Metal Gear Solid 25th anniversary, the legendary game creator put together a blog post where he recalled his work on the famed series, along with some details on Kojima Production’s new tech, the Fox Engine.

“The Fox Engine is nearly finished, but the only way to be sure it works is to create a game at the same time and improve the engine with our tools as we go along,” Kojima said on the PlayStation Blog. “Originally we were going to do this for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, but a lot happened along the way and instead it is being made with the engine they have at Platinum Games.”

Kojima added, “Production studios in Japan are nearly extinct, a fact that we have recognized for nearly 10 years, and although the Fox Engine is not finished we are ready to show what it can do… on August 30th in Japan to be more specific.”

The Fox Engine was first shown in 2011, and was speculated to be the tech behind the still-unannounced Metal Gear Solid 5.
