Phantom Pain questions are going to be revealed at this year’s GDC. Details about the game that has long been speculated to be Metal Gear Solid 5 have been kept tightly under wraps but developer Moby Dick Studios has said that all questions will be answered at a reveal at GDC.

They mystery about the game has actually been carefully cultivated by Moby Dick to the point where their CEO recently showed up to a live interview in a full head bandage. The way his head was wrapped was quite similar to the wrapping of an apparent main character in the game.

Phantom Pain has been such a closely guarded secret that people are even believing that Moby Dick Studios is actually a creation of Hideo Kojima’s Fox Engine. The supposed CEO Joakim Mogren makes an appearance in a recent interview but cannot reveal much of anything when grilled on details.

At the end of the interview, GTTV’s Geoff Keighley takes a look at a number of different screenshots and notices that there is a Fox Engine logo in the corner of the shots. When he confronts Mogren, the interview ends with Mogren gasping at the apparent “revelation.”

The hints that Joakim Mogren could be simply an invention and that this new title is actually part of Metal Gear Solid 5 continue to pop up. Joakim is actually an anagram for Kojima and there has been speculation that “Mogren” was actually former Epic Games employee Cliff Bleszinski.

Bleszinski left Epic last year and could be working with Kojima on the newest Metal Gear title. The indentations on the logo for this game also seem to line up with those of Metal Gear Solid 5.

The mystery of this particular game should be ending once GDC gets rolling on March 25, including what consoles this game will run on as there has been speculation that this will be a PS4 and Xbox 720 title.

Checkout out the interview with the Phantom Pain developer’s CEO and see what you think about this.

We’ll avoid a “call me Spaceman Ishmael” comment (even though it’s highly apropos) and tell it to you straight: Herman Melville’s classic tale of obsession and revenge Moby Dick is being adapted for the big screen. The twist on concept is that the film will reportedly carry the themes and characters over from a sea-faring tale into a space-faring tale.

So, Moby Dick in space, as the title suggested.

First, this news has sort of been on the radar for a while. We Need To Talk About Kevin director Lynne Ramsay made clear her intention of doing a sci-fi take on Moby Dick a year ago, but it was one of those “wouldn’t it be grand” ideas and hadn’t gotten any traction yet. Now, FirstShowing reports that the film is in development under the title Mobius, and that it will be a direct adaptation of Melville’s novel, featuring a space captain who puts his vessel and crew at risk by pursuing … well … we don’t know yet. A giant alien space worm?

By the way, if this sounds eerily similar to an episode of Futurama, there’s a reason for it.

In any case, Ramsay is co-writing the Mobius screenplay with her Kevin co-writer Rory Kinnear, and Scott Steindorff. It’s being called a “psychological action thriller” with Ramsay saying last year that Mobius will be “A very psychological piece, mainly taking place in the ship, a bit like Das Boot, so it’s quite claustrophobic.”

Ramsay is a very accomplished and talented filmmaker, so we’ll reserve judgment on the Moby Dick in space adaptation for now. In fact, the premise does sound very interesting, and good visuals coupled with stellar performances will probably make up for any silliness we still feel by the time the first trailer lands.

Do you think that Moby Dick in space is an interesting film concept?
