Kojima is one of the geniuses of the video game world. During his time at Konami, he left us the fantastic Metal Gear Solid saga, as well as an incredible concept for a new Silent Hill game. However, he parted ways with the developer and began his own journey, where Death Stranding has already left us, which is available on PC Game Pass, and is currently working on both its sequel and an Xbox exclusive horror.
But there hasn’t been a day since his departure from Konami that Kojima’s name and the existence of a company-related project or other third-party licenses haven’t been linked. Something he wanted to deny during his last interview with IGN.
No third-party games for Kojima
Thus, the Japanese creator has affirmed that the idea of his study is to continue working with his own IP and not with the license of third parties. That is, at the moment it does not occur to him to start developing a project from another company, such as a new Metal Gear Solid or the widespread Silent Hill.
Kojima Productions is not listed on the stock exchange, so I don’t aim to constantly expand the business. I just want to do a good job and that’s the stance I take when making games while considering doing other types of visual projects. We will maintain the position of creating our own IP and not working with IP licensed by others.

Death Stranding is currently available on PC Game Pass. Additionally, we may have news of an as-yet-unannounced project from Kojima in 2023 and we’re still waiting for that first trailer of the confirmed Xbox exclusive. It looks like Kojima has work ahead of him.
