Hideo himself after that needed to interfere with Twitter to place an end to these corridor sounds. “I’m sorry for the misunderstanding, but Kojima Productions has been and will remain an independent studio“, he said in particular. In a new issue of his Brain Structure podcastKojima-san resolved remembering that he had no intent of allying himself with any individual.
“Let me remind you that we are an independent studio. We are not associated with anyone and do not receive any financial support“, he mentioned.

“There’s a game I’ve always dreamed of making, had he let go. The kind of game no one has seen or experienced yet. I’ve been waiting a long time for the day when I can finally start developing it. Thanks to Microsoft’s cutting-edge Cloud technology, and new trends within the industry, I am finally able to challenge myself and offer this concept never seen before.Finally, there are also chances that Hideo Kojima is working on Death Stranding 2 – although nothing has been made official yet – as well as a horror game dubbed OVERDOSE.
