Konami stopped development of the Suikoden series

Nikkei posted an article earlier revealing some damning information about the current state of Konami.

Among details about making underperforming employees clean up trash at their fitness clubs and working instead as security guards, the piece also states that Konami has halted development of the Suikoden series. Serkan Toto has translated some of the more important details from the article:

@JeffGrubb @markmacd left Konami in March, according to Nikkei. They also stopped development of the Tokimeki and Suikoden series. Jesus.

Does this mean that a new Suikoden title was in development, but due to the original delay of Metal Gear Solid 5, plans have changed? We may never know.
