[edit] History
The developer was formed on April 1, 2005, after Konami merged several of its subsidiaries, including Hideo Kojima's team at Konami Computer Entertainment Japan (KEJ).
The company was intended to relieve Kojima of the business management and administrative responsibilities he had previously as KCEJ's vice president. As the head of Kojima Productions, Kojima is able to focus solely on creating games.
While the company has largely focues on games in the Metal Gear series, it has also developed games not in that series, such as Lunar Knights.
[edit] Current projects
Kojima Productions is currently working on four games: Metal Gear Solid: Rising, a multiplatform game; Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, a PSP game; Metal Gear Arcade, a coin-op iteration of Metal Gear Online; and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, a multiplatform Castlevania game.
[edit] Games
Though Hideo Kojima has developed games at Konami since 1987, the "Kojima Productions" studio was not formed until 2005. However, Konami retroactively refers to Kojima's earlier productions as belonging to Kojima Productions. All Kojima Productions games were published by Konami. Games developed with the Kojima Productions studio name are bolded.
