Konami has been dire lately, Metal Gear Solid has also been on hiatus since Kojima left the company. Out of all the Japanese publishers like Capcom, Square, Sega, Namco, etc...Konami always felt the most stuck in the past. It was really only Kojima keeping Metal Gear Solid relevant all those years but without him the series is more or less done.
Ever since the PS3/360 gen it's always been obvious Japanese developers started to fall behind western developers, and that's why most of the popular third party game franchises these days don't come from Japan anymore. We're probably lucky Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Sonic, etc. managed to stay relevant after 30 years.
