Metal Gear master Hideo Kojima has made a bombastically enigmatic twitterance in which he promises to “challenge a certain industry taboo” whilst warning that “I may have to leave the industry if I mess up.”

>"My next project will challenge a certain industry taboo.
>If I mess up, maybe I’ll have to leave the industry. But there’s no escaping it – I can’t pass otherwise.
>I’m 47 this year, and it’s been 24 years since I started making games. Today I found a companion who’ll undertake this risk with pleasure. It’s still only one person, but it’s a good start."
>Speculation appears to centre on some form of erotic venture, although there is plenty of potential for this to be something much less exciting, or simply mere bombast.
>Less charitable observers speculate as to whether he might finally make one long cutscene in place of a game…
