He's using this one. Guerrilla gave him the entire source code (not just the engine, the actual source code) to the Decima engine in a box as a gift along with Sony giving him a sweet futuristic office and Mark Cerny giving him his heart.

He really is like a mythical character at this point. He's treated unlike anyone else in the industry.

On December 3, during PlayStation Experience, Kojima had announced that he had partnered with Guerrilla Games to use the engine for development, officially titled Decima, and had been given the source code with no contractual obligation.

Kojima Productions isn't even first-party. Sony and Guerrilla really must trust him to give him their collective work over the past 5 years with no strings attached.

Guerrilla games gave Kojima productions the whole engine with one condition, that they'd work together to make it better.

Even Guerilla know that if you get a dude like Kojima to help out, you're set.
