Almost everything had been attributed to Hideo Kojima in the last few months. In the end, two projects emerged: One Sequel to Death Stranding and the horror game Overdose. Both are still unofficial.
Hideo Kojima’s collaboration with Xbox has been official since today. The Metal Gear Solid creator lent his face to the Xbox & Bethesda Showcase, at the end of a small series of announcements from Japanese studios. Which are still very important, as Phil Spencer pointed out.
Hideo Kojima talked a bit and didn’t reveal anything at the end. Kojima is working on a brand new game that will take advantage of the company’s cloud technology. There were also these rumors – in spring 2021.
The new game is a “completely new game” and the game that Kojima “always wanted to make”. Something that “no one has experienced or seen before.” “I’ve waited a very long time for the day when I could finally start developing it,” Kojima said in the statement.
“Thanks to Microsoft’s cutting-edge cloud technology and the industry reversal, it has now become possible for me to take on the challenge of developing this unprecedented concept,” said Kojima.
We may not see the game anytime soon though, and if we do, it may be exclusive to Xbox. There was no question of that, but the game is being developed together with Xbox Game Studios. “It may be a while yet, but I’m excited to be working with Xbox Game Studios and hope to bring you some exciting news in the future!”
Is this game Overdose? It doesn’t sound like it.
