The Future of Kojima Productions

Avatar
By zethalee22-12-2015

In case you hadn't heard, legendary game developer Hideo Kojima had finally released himself from the clutches of Konami to form a new studio, also called Kojima Productions. Partnering with Sony, Kojima seems to be looking to cast off his former legacy as an extension of Konami, by stressing that he is simply publishing with Sony. With a cryptic website describing those who play as “homo ludens,” Kojima and his studio don't seem too ready to talk about his specific plans, though he did have some details to give away in an interview, as posted on Allgamesbeta.

First and foremost, even though Kojima Productions is partnering with Sony, Kojima stressed that this exclusive relationship extends only to publishing on console, and that he fully intends to bring his product to PC. Furthermore, Kojima stressed that the new title is not going to be related to Metal Gear or Silent Hill in any way, and that it will be a completely new development.

Regardless of the bad blood between Kojima and Konami, Kojima says that Konami will remain an important publisher of SCE (Sony Computer Entertainment), and that Sony has not invested into Kojima Productions itself. As the studio was founded a few days ago, the careers page is looking for quite the talented help, so my guess is that it'll be some time before we see something out of Kojima's new studio. Nevertheless, his work is always something to keep and eye on for the future.
