New Metal Gear Solid Unveiled via Trademark
by Chris Faylor, Sep 19, 2008 8:46am PDTMere weeks after ex-MGS4 producer Ryan Payton confirmed that Metal Gear Solid 5 is on the way from developer Kojima Productions, publisher Konami has filed a trademark for the phrase Metal Gear Solid Existence.
The registration, uncovered by Siliconera, lacked any other relevant details, though applications for the Existence trademark were made in both the US and Japan.
Kojima Productions recently brought the series' stealth-action antics to the PlayStation 3 through this year's long-awaited release of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. While MGS4 was said to conclude the storyline of series protagonist Solid Snake, Payton previously stated that the series would not end there, later noting that the franchise had "a lot of room for filling in the gaps as far as [series antagonist and MGS3 lead] Big Boss is concerned."

MGS4: Existence
It matches the pattern.
MGS2 had MGS2: Substance
MGS3 had MGS3: Subsistance
MGS4 will have MGS4: Existance

So, does anyone think that Existence could be a re-release of MGS4? True, there's no "4" in the registered trademark, so it could very well be a new entry. But after the successes of Substance and Subsistence, and given MGS4's emphasis on the FOXDIE virus ravaging Snake (I haven't bought MGS4 yet because I am truthfully holding out for a possible re-release, so I don't know what comes of the virus storyline), anyone else with me in thinking that "Existence" could be a re-release, the name of which implies Solid Snake's longevity?
