OR they've probably realized that there isn't going to be an ishmael reveal trailer. besides with gamescom multiplayer footage out now most people have dropped the ishmael is solidus theory and are now thinking there's gonna be 2 snakes in the game, and how will that be turned canon. im telling you that theory HAS TO BE on this site somewhere Where did you hear a confirmation date? The most recent article I read said it will be out no later than April 2015. If there was a confirmation, surely channels like Yong Yea would have reported it already. There was a magazine with a date of 2014 shared by Kojima, but that's hardly a confirmation.

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that there are two Big Bosses in canon based on the multiplayer gameplay. There are many multiplayer games that allow two players to use the same character, but they don't tie into the main storyline. Plus, it's not popular with everyone. Some fans think a recruit or a custom character should be controlled for multiplayer, and not Boss. I personally wish we had the option to infiltrate bases with main characters like Ocelot, Quiet, Eli, or Grey Fox (if he made an appearance in the game). The magazine you speak of is going off of Japan's quarterly system. Their fourth quarter ends in April 2015
