Fox Engine

Fox Engine is the engine Kojima Productions built at Konami for Metal Gear Solid V. It also ran P.T. and seven years of Pro Evolution Soccer before Konami replaced it with Unreal Engine.

History

Hideo Kojima started the engine after Metal Gear Solid 4, aiming for “the best engine in the world”, and showed a demo at E3 2011. Kojima Productions planned to use it for all its future games. In March 2013 The Phantom Pain, presented until then as a separate game to test reactions to the engine, was revealed as Metal Gear Solid V.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 (2013) was the first commercial release on Fox Engine. After seven years on the series, Konami dropped it for Unreal Engine when PES Productions moved to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
