I am sort of torn between the CGI head theory, and piggybacking on some fans suspecting it's Cliffy B., Mostly because the timeline is right, he left Epic Games in 2011, and not even a peep about future projects has come to light. It would make sense if TPP required another developer to remove the load from Kojima headlining two individual projects if it is the case. Personally, this would fall in line with Kojima Productions opening a U.S. branch, and needed someone to run that branch. Cliff Bleszinski would be an excellent grab for Konami, and Kojima Productions. It also helps that Kojima and Bleszinski have been good friends for a long time.

tl;dr: Kojima Productions picking up Cliff Bleszinski as a lead for the U.S. branch makes sense in timeline.
