Hideo Kojima, an Xbox cloud gaming exclusive, possibly Death Stranding 2 on PS5, is very busy but has popped up alongside director Michael Bay. A future film project or even a game together or an informal meeting?
For 2022, Hideo Kojima wanted to multiply the projects and that is on the horizon. Between rumors and confirmations, the Japanese designer’s schedule is full. But he took the time to immortalize an interview with Michael Bay. Shall we see the beginning of a teaser?
A Hideo Kojima x Michael Bay collaboration?
Could Hideo Kojima team up with director Michael Bay (Rock, Bad Boys, Transformers, Armageddon…)? A tweet from the Japanese designer makes us doubt ourselves. As we can see, the two men had an exchange through intermediary screens. The picture is not complete, however, as a black square obscures one of Michael Bay’s screens. Certainly a confidential project… but by whom? The next Mister Bay movie or something with Kojima-san?
The fat her of MGS and Death Stranding opened a new studio in Los Angeles last year. But unlike Tokyo, this new entity has to focus on opportunities related to movies, series and music, even animation. Is this the purpose of this video conference or a simple informal meeting? After all, Hideo Kojima has always had a foothold in Hollywood and has built up a nice address book over time. For example, he has dialogued with his own “god” George Miller (Mad Max) on numerous occasions, with little more than a conversation between enthusiasts. And not everything the developers tweet is tantamount to teasing. In short, at the moment it is difficult to really know.
Update on Kojima Productions projects
Currently the teams at Kojima Productions are working on an Xbox exclusive game that would be the horror title Overdose. Then the studio could be parallel to Death Stranding 2 as Hideo Kojima will continue to have a very good relationship with PlayStation. Then there are the side projects like his radio podcast, only in Japanese, or his video team that has to release something…
