After most of the initial shock of the horrific events that occurred Tuesday morning on September 11, 2001 began to sink in, some Americans began to wonder how it would affect certain things in their lives that seemed much more important just a few days ago. Much of the questions we've received here at IGNPS2 over the past 48 or so hours have been regarding the status of certain games that deal with violent issues.
The game brought up the most was Konami's highly-anticipated Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, which happens to feature terrorists in New York City as one of the game's adversarial parties. The speculation that has been circulating is that the game would either be delayed or cancelled in the West because of the recent happenings in the United States. Today, we've received an official statement from Konami Computer Entertainment Japan regarding the effects of the simultaneous terrorist incidents in the United States on its upcoming product.
"We do not know what effects there will be upon Metal Gear Solid 2 at this moment. We are currently collecting and analyzing information regarding this matter and would like to express our condolences to the victims of the tragedy."
Well unfortunately that could mean that the game may be delayed.
