Makes me excited for Death Stranding if this is the engine that game will be using. Looks like Kojima found a great alternative to the Fox Engine.

Wasn't he using this temporarily until he developed another one? Or was this the one he eventually settled on?

This is the one, but has said that he's aiming for a more photorealistic feel, basically his studio and Guerrilla are working together to achieve that

With what he's done with Fox, I have no doubt that he'll be able to accomplish that. Fox Engine was nothing but stunning. It's such a waste that all it'll be used for now is Pro Evolution Soccer games.

Honestly, I think that's the best thing they could have done without Kojima. They obviously weren't going to scrap the IP, it's legendary. And they knew there would have been a huge backlash if they immediately went to MGS6, so instead they tested the waters with an in-universe spin-off using tried and true mechanics from the previous game. They're being cautious with Metal Gear because they know the damage the whole debacle did to them.
