Hideo Kojima Denounces Rumors On Work With Blue Box Game Studios In Recent Podcast Episode

While Konami over the past few years has not appeased many cries for new entries in the Silent Hill IP, the firm has fallen victim to a string of rumors concerning new, unannounced projects underway. It was not until last month the firm shared titles like Silent Hill f, Silent Hill 2 Remake, and Silent Hill Townfall currently in the pipeline.

Additionally, Hideo Kojima himself has been said to be attached to some degree for upcoming Silent Hill projects. While nothing is confirmed, another rumor surfaced sharing Kojima’s involvement with Blue Box Game Studios as its title Abandoned. In a post made last year, studio head Hasan Kahraman denounced the claims.

From its latest episode of Brain Structure with Geoff Keighley, it is revealed that Kojima is certainly not attached to any project with the developer. He goes on to note the number of tweets aimed at him regarding the claims. “They still send me collages and deep fake images, like twenty a day, it’s really quite a nuisance.,” says Kojima in a transcribed statement by Video Game Chronicles.

Not only that, but even Blue Box Game Studios on Twitter further commented on following Kojima acknowledging the ongoing rumors. “We want to thank @Kojima_Hideo for addressing the conspiracies openly. It has been a burden and not cool for both fans and developers. We hope everyone can close this for good.”

Concerning what Kojima is currently working on now, it is more than likely that a second Death Stranding project is in development. In one interview with Norman Reedus, he discloses involvement in another title related to the property with Kojima attached. This is the second instance of Reedus blatantly admitting to there being a second game. You can read the full report by heading here.
