Konami has aired its “Konami Press Start” showcase, and a bevvy of information for Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, and more has been revealed.
Just about every franchise the publisher is currently working on got touched upon in some way, so the easiest way to get the info across is to drop what Konami has said via its press release for the showcase.

The latter brings a new in-house collaboration with the Bomberman franchise delivering a bombastic experience by introducing gameplay mechanics from the Bomberman series to the Xbox Series X|S version of the game.
FOX HUNT Director Yu Sahara gave viewers a concept of the brand-new online multiplayer mode, character renders and early gameplay footage.

More details will be announced later.
