Why is Geoff Keighley in Japan with Hideo Kojima?
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hideo Kojima and Geoff Keighley have been pictured at Konami's Midtown HQ, begging the question – is the MGS creator about to break his public silence? “I ran into Geoff in front of Godzilla” claims the tweet, but an accidental meeting between the much-debated MGS creator and the hꦍost of The G🔯ame Awards seems implausible.

Keighley worked closely with Kojima on the announcement of 'The Phantom Pain' trailer at the VGA awards in late 2012, and was clearly in on the 'Joakim Mogren' joke - where Kojima managed to fool the world for all of, ooh, six hours, that the Swedish Moby Dick Studios was a real developer, and TPP might be unrelated to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Metal Gear Solid 5.

Kojima also tweeted a weird follow up picture of Godzilla “What happened to Godzillℱa's teeth?! Oh no!”.

Is that a bit of paper wedged in there?
So what are Kojima and Keighley planning, if anything? We'll have to wait and see. Back on March 19, when the first 'Kojima fired' rumours broke, Ke𝄹ighley did appear to be genuinely surprised.
Thinking of my dea🐈r friend @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN today and hoping all these rumors aren't true.
When I was struggling last♊ year to fi💧gure out what to do with The Game Awards, Hideo always supported me and had my back.
After t♉he show, he gave me a ni⛦nja figurine as a gift. He said it was because I worked like a ninja to make sure the show happened.

It🌠 is slightly odd that Kojima's gift to Keighley would be Cyborg Ninja who is (potential spoilers) rumoured to be the true identity of the scarred Venom Snake playable character in MGS5. Going full looking glass, few of Kojima's tweets are accidental, and he has often used twitter to tease MGS5 plot threads and themes.

Before the 'firing' rumours broke, and pre-Kojima's T🎃witter silence, the MGS creator tweeted:

Now, it's almost certainly just🐬 an image relating to the customisable Mother Base in MGS5, right? It's not like something else could be 'under construction'… that might be about to have the plastic sheets whipped off anytime soon? Probably not. It's not like there's a major video game 🏅show around the corner where people tend to make announcements or anything, is there?
Oh. I need a coffee.
