194w ago - At GamesCom 2009, Konami and Kojima Productions introduced the brand new co-op mode for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.

Although the showing left a positive impression, many fans were concerned about how the new mode could detract resources from the single-player experience.

Sean Eyestone of Kojima Productions put those concerns to rest on the latest Kojima Productions podcast, The KP Report Session 099, to quote:

"There will be a single-player mode. Of course there will be. It's Metal Gear. It always features a really deep story and there will be a full-featured single-player mode. So don't worry about that. You'll be able to enjoy it either way."

He later added, "By no means are we sacrificing the single-player mode. It will still have a deep story; it will still have a very fun single-player mode. We're not going to gear it totally towards co-op. You'll be able to have fun with it either way you decide to play it."

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is slated for a 2010 release exclusively for the PSP.
