Hideo Kojima Answers Hideo Kojima Questions | WIRED
This forward-looking perspective is a hallmark of Kojima’s philosophy. He approaches every press cycle and global event with an earnest commitment to his current vision, treating his past successes as stepping stones rather than destinations. However, there is a distinct personal connection to the Death Stranding universe.
As the flagship franchise of Kojima Productions—the independent studio he founded after parting ways with Konami—Death Stranding represents his most unfiltered creative expression. Without corporate oversight, these games are “pure Kojima,” allowing him to take risks and experiment in ways that previous franchises might not have permitted. This creative freedom likely cements the sequel’s status at the top of his personal rankings.
It remains to be seen if this title will be short-lived. With OD, his mysterious collaboration with Xbox, already on the horizon, Kojima’s “masterpiece” might soon evolve once again. For now, however, all eyes are on the sprawling, cinematic world of On The Beach.
In addition to his work on Death Stranding 2, Hideo Kojima has expressed interest in pioneering new frontiers, including a “game designed specifically for AI” and an experience meant to be played in zero gravity.
