Inside Kojima's World: Unveiling His Latest Projects
Hideo Kojima, the mastermind behind iconic games like Metal Gear, is expanding his creative horizons. Known for his cinematic approach to game design, Kojima is now venturing into film and television. While he's busy with a sequel to Death Stranding, he's also juggling two other original games. Let's dive into everything we know about Kojima's upcoming projects.
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
The highly anticipated sequel, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, is set to launch on PlayStation 5 in 2025. Norman Reedus and La Seydoux reprise their roles, joined by new faces like Elle Fanning and George Miller. The game continues Sam's journey to connect the world, featuring familiar gameplay elements with potential surprises.
OD: A New Horror Experience
Kojima Productions is also working on OD, a horror game published by Xbox Game Studios. Although details are scarce, the game stars Sophia Lillis, Hunter Schafer, and Udo Kier. Co-written by Jordan Peele, the game may include a multiplayer component.
Physint: A Return to Espionage
Physint, a working title, marks Kojima's return to the espionage genre. Announced during the January 31 State of Play, this project is both a game and a movie. While specifics are under wraps, Kojima promises an innovative blend of storytelling and gameplay.
Death Stranding Movie and Other Adaptations
Kojima is also branching into film with a movie set in the Death Stranding universe. While not a direct adaptation of the game, it will explore new narratives. Partnering with A24 and Hammerstone Studios, Kojima will oversee the plot without directing.
Beyond the movie, several Death Stranding adaptations are in the works. These could include TV shows, anime, books, or other media, expanding the game's universe.
Future TV and Movie Plans
Kojima's studio is in its second phase, focusing on creating movies, anime, and TV dramas based on existing IPs. The third phase will begin with Physint and may involve original film and TV projects unrelated to games.
Partnership with WME
Kojima has teamed up with Hollywood agency WME to manage his growing list of projects. This partnership allows him to focus on creativity while WME handles logistics and collaborations with actors.
