Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has recently reached ‘gold’ status, which means the game is ready for release later this month. This highly anticipated sequel marks Hideo Kojima’s return to project direction after several years of intense work. However, despite the conclusion of this monumental project, Kojima has no plans to rest.
Kojima is already working on the next game and his team wants you to rest
In the latest episode of his radio show KOJI10, Kojima confirmed that the Kojima Productions team will take a break after the release of Death Stranding 2. However, Kojima himself is already working on new projects, surprising his own team. “Everyone is displeased when I send the project plans at this time. They say: ‘Huh?, I thought you were going to take a break’. But you are talking about the next one,” Kojima explained, revealing his tireless passion for video game development.
Among the new projects on Kojima’s list are OD, a horror game in development for Xbox Game Studios, and Physint, a PS5 exclusive that could be a spiritual successor to Metal Gear Solid. Despite speculation that Physint could take between five and six years to complete, Kojima seems unbothered about embarking on more creative adventures.
In addition, the Japanese director has become a pillar of innovation in the video game industry. With a career marked by ambition and complex storytelling, the possibility that he is starting an additional new project only adds more excitement to his career. As Kojima continues to design unique experiences, both fans and the industry will be watching closely to see what the master has in store for the future.
