Visual clues in Kojima’s recent post offer even more evidence. A shared photograph of his workstation shows a monitor featuring Death Stranding 2 typography and the signature “A Hideo Kojima Game” credit. Tucked beneath the screen is a themed 2026 calendar, suggesting the creator is already looking well into the future of the franchise.
While fans await more news on the sequel, curiosity is also mounting for OD, Kojima’s upcoming Xbox-exclusive horror project developed in collaboration with filmmaker Jordan Peele. In December, Kojima remained characteristically elusive, stating he wasn’t yet certain how the experimental concepts would unfold. As his first foray into horror since the legendary, yet ill-fated, Silent Hills project, the stakes for OD are remarkably high.
Reflecting on Kojima’s reputation, a producer for Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes recently noted that the secret to Kojima and Shigeru Miyamoto’s success isn’t just innate brilliance, but the fact that they work “incredibly hard.”
