Uh oh, looks like the speculation as to whether or not Hideo Kojima is working on a new Metal Gear can be put to rest. The above image was taken from the infamous countdown page that is currently ticking away toward the reveal of Kojima Productions' next time. As you can see, it's Naked Snake, aka Big Boss. Metal Gear Solid 5 confirmed? A brand new MG series set in the Snake Eater timeline? You decide!

Kojima has been stringing us along for a while now, and this is the first solid evidence of what his next project will be. Fans will either be disappointed or delighted to see that a Metal Gear character is making his return. What do you think? Let us know, and do continue the rudderless speculation that Kojima-San loves spurring so much. 

The ongoing saga continues. Just what will those whacky guys do to play with our minds next?

[Update: Oh hi Raiden! A new scan has been found that shows a new look for everyone's favorite cyborg sidekick. Is that an eyepatch? Why yes it is! Some are speculating that this teaser image is not Big Boss, but a new look for Raiden. Either way, there's even more to gossip about now, so check out the attached image]
