From the mind of Hideo Kojima, no matter the game – fans will be there. Over the past few years since he left Konami – nearly a decade now – he has found a standing at his self-founded Kojima Productions. We witnessed this with the release of Death Stranding. And, it is confirmed that a sequel is already on the way. But, that is not all.
Most recently, he confirmed that the IP is also expanding with transmedia. A film adaptation is on the way. Even more, A24 is to be the production firm behind the coming motion picture. However, Kojima is also partnering with other members of Hollywood at Xbox. In December, it was revealed he has collaborated with Jordan Peele (Get Out, Us, Nope) on a new Xbox Cloud Gaming project, OD.
Closing out the recent PlayStation State of Play, Kojima alongside PlayStation Studios president Hermen Hulst shares a new project is on the way at PlayStation, Physint. You can watch the segment in the video below:
“Yes, it will be a brand new IP, a next-generation ACTION ESPIONAGE game. Preparations are underway, but production will begin in the earnest at KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS after DEATH STRANDING 2,” Kojima expresses during the segment.
“We have extensive experience with Sony, having grown the espionage genre together for almost 30 years. Also, SONY not only does games, but also music and movies. It will definitely be a strong collaboration. Two years from now, I will celebrate the 40th anniversary of my game production career. I am confident that this title will be the culmination of my work.
“We plan to bring together cutting-edge technology and talent from around the world to create it. Of course, it’s an interactive game, but also a movie at the same time, in terms of look, story, theme, cast, acting, fashion, and sound. With this title, we hope to transcend the barriers between film and video games.”
Are you excited for Physint?
