Konami HQ on fire

[Fudge]

Multiple Japanese Twitter users have posted pictures of what appears to be a fire in a Konami office.

Twitter user @wataru_hrt has put up this picture of what appears to be smoke coming out of a Konami building in the Roppongi district, where Metal Gear Solid studio Kojima Productions is based.

Twitter user @sphere037 has a different angle of the purported fire.

We've contacted Konami for comment and will update as soon as we hear anything.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

Should have known Snake was a klutz when it comes to lighting his cigarettes.

I dont know how no one knows yet if the building is actually on fire
all I see is "might be on fire" and "looks to be on fire"
this was over an hour ago...

I thought the title was hypothetical , but it appears to be true

1. I hope everyone is alright.

2. I hope this don't delay New Love Plus

3. It better be accidental, because if it's arson, the arsonist will need to be gutted like a fish.

I came in here thinking that "On fire" was a metaphor..

Good luck Konami, hope nothing important gets damaged..

Fire Emblem so hot it burns buildings.

 

[chrisrlink]

[DiscostewSM]

Maybe they finally made a breakthrough with the frame rate in MGS3D, but their party afterwards went a little overboard.

Hopefully someone called the fire department instead of just posting about it on twitter...

At first I thought 'on fire' was like in trouble.

Hope everyone's alright.
