This news is popping up everywhere. Very intriguing, and a bit startling in some regards. It seems Konami is trying to contract, streamline, and centralize its business, similarly to what we've seen with Sega in some ways. (This has been gradually happening since the early/mid-2000s, with KCEN, KCEK, and KCET closing for instance, but this seems to be a bigger shift.) Unfortunately, Charlotte-nyo:3 may be on the right track above with them going for an even bigger focus on the Mobile and Pachi-Slot businesses. Risk and reward are key at this time in the industry. Though the corporate shakeup hasn't been anywhere near as sharp, even Nintendo has announced a new commitment to mobile gaming now, which shows an industry-wide shift. I think Konami will still put out AA and AAA console games for a little while, and maybe even longer--so long as they prove profitable. The bright side might be that they will be encouraged to do something with Castlevania's IP again*, but there are no guarantees.
What I'm trying to figure out is if Kojima--assuming it's true that he's leaving--will be able to keep the rights/use of the recently developed "Fox Engine" and/or the international staff he's acquired for Kojima Productions. There seem to be conflicting notes in these stories about the latter part, in particular, with Kojima Productions job openings redirecting to Konami.
Interesting times...
*It's funny/sad to say "do something with the Castlevania IP"...because I know LoS was ultimately just that. A huge gamble to reinvent the series. But I wonder if something safer with established CV audiences might prove beneficial going forward in the short run. Who can say in terms of the bottom line.
