Last week, Hideo Kojima stated that a new Zone of the Enders was at the top of his to-do list, providing a modicum of hope to those who want to see a new entry in the mech-battling series. Now the Metal Gear Solid creator has truly committed, promising that the game will happen.
"I cannot make a promise about time. However, I can promise a sequel," offers the mad genius.
He also explains why Zone of the Enders didn't sell very well, claiming that he timed the release wrong: "Everything was due to an error by me. At that time, if I hadn’t made a mistake with the release date, [the game] might have ended up a major Kojima Productions title to follow MGS, still seeing development as a series."
Don't beat yourself up too much about it, Hideo. I'm sure that all will be forgiven as soon as Zone of the Enders 3 arrives in 2025.

Imagine it was here.
no worries Jon B. been waiting for the confirmation for years
Wait...he actually is this time!?
AMAAAAAZIIIING!!!!!!
Can. Not. Wait!
That said, I'm looking forward to the game as well. Every game with the name 'Kojima' on it is auto-sold to me.
Well, I second Steel Brotha's idea - I'd give it a second go if it was a PS3 rerelease.
In fact, I've been kicking around on The 2nd Runner for a few weeks now.
Man... what if this is a sequel to the GBA game? Just kidding.
Graphically and mechanically, the sequel is far superior to the first game. The variety of enemies, bosses and locations was greatly improved, as well. And the soundtrack? Bliss.
I kinnnnnnnnnda miss the "free roaming" aspect of ZOE1, though. I enjoyed traversing a defined space consisting of different areas rather than passing through a series of levels and locales.
Even so, ZOE2 is awesome.
P.S. - ZOE2 is my favorite game of awwwwwww timmeee.
I have shed tears of goldest joy.
