Konami is ironically actually focusing more on AAA games now from what i've heard, there was just an announcement that there's a full blown remake of Silent Hill 2 coming to PS5.

I thought 4 was perfectly fine, last I heard the franchise went to mobile after 4 didn't sell as well as Square Enix hoped, hopefully JC5 will happen. Though if it does not I will say Far Cry 6 felt very much like a Just Cause game(minus the grappling hook).

Square Enix is the sequel to Konami

Just Cause 2 and 3 were some of the most FUN I've had playing a video game. JC4 OTOH....ugh I'd still buy JC5 first day though just in case

I totally had missed the Square Enix selling IPs news. Too bad Just Cause is not among them, I liked those games, guess next one will become another liveservice, now with some added cryptoscam.
