Could Hideo Kojima be hinting at a MGSV announcement later today?

Hideo Kojima could have one more announcement up his sleeve. According to PixelDynomo, there is reason to believe that a Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain announcement will come later today courtesy of the website ingsoc.org

A timer has been placed on ingsoc.org which currently has 8 hours 20 minutes left to go. The biggest question is what does a random site with a counter have to do with MGSV? Through hidden messages and subtle tweets, PixelDynomo might’ve cracked one of Koijmas' most elaborate codes. The Ingsoc logo that the website references itself to, looks oddly similar to MGSV:TPP main logo.

Ingsoc is a political party led by Big Brother in George Orwell’s 1984 novel. Metal Gear Solid V and 1984 share very similar themes, one in particular are the ‘Big Boss is Watching You” posters that are scattered throughout Mother Base.

Ingsoc.org was first created on March 1st, 2015 and before its current tab description “Black Hound – don’t let Armageddon stop you”, it had a much more interesting tab. The original tab description was “A ***** ****** Game”, does that look familiar? If you were to fill in the blanks, A Hideo Kojima Game” would fit perfectly.

Now these two coincidences alone are interesting enough, but now Kojima threw some more fuel to add to the fire to make this crazy theory seem more grounded. Kojima tweeted out a pic of his phone that displayed a David Bowie, Diamond Dogs album with the song 1984 and to be more precise its track 9 out of 11. Now this could be pure coincidence, if it wasn’t Kojima, the master of all riddles and the only developer that doesn’t like to announce anything straight forward.

It could be some sort of DLC for The Phantom Pain or it could be something totally different like his own game that is called “Black Hound”. Who knows? All we have to do is wait a couple more hours and we’ll see if this counter means anything. Stick with GameZone for further updates on the matter.
