Metal Gear fans can now relax. After rumors have spread on the internet that the last chapter, ‘Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the patriots,’ is the last game in the franchise, Ryan Payton, associate producer of the game, has declared in an interview with MTV Multiplayer that there will be future Metal Gear games.

Metal Gear IV, which will be released on June 12, will be the last game in the Solid Snake saga. The game’s creator, Hideo Kojima, has managed to find a way to give it a nice finish, and answer all the questions the series’ fans had.

Payton said that Kojima has felt uncomfortable with the idea of continuing the Solid Snake saga and wanted to move on. He also stated that even though the creator has made similar announcements before, this time he really means it.

The last chapter of the saga brings a big surprise. The ‘Assassin’s Creed’ costume will be present in the game. The story behind this reaches back to last year when Kojima and Jade Raymond, Assassin’s Creed producer,met at the E3 conference. The two were admirers of each other’s work and decided to start a collaboration. Soon after, they managed to convince the two rival companies for which they work, Ubisoft and Konami, to introduce the costume in the game.

Metal Gear IV: Guns of the patriots will be released for PlayStation 3. A release for Xbox 360 is not likely to take place, mostly because of the computing power the game currently needs, which only the PS3 console can provide.
