Hideo Kojima has appeared at Gamescom 2022 from Tokyo. Announce a game? No, but to promote a new podcast that more people can understand.
Somewhere Hideo Kojima has a surprise reserved at Gamescom 2022, but not the one we could legitimately think. Instead, he’s formalized one of his projects, which isn’t a new game, not exactly the place to be, but it’s certainly touched millions of people.
A Hideo Kojima Podcast
Hideo Kojima had already expressed his desire to have a “radio” project and he will make it happen next month. the September 8, 2022
The good news for Anglophones is that contrary to the original plan, there will be one English version so that many people can follow this show.
I wanted to share my ideas with a global audience and found Spotify to be the best way to communicate with all my fans and friends around the world.. Releasing every episode in both Japanese and English is an ambitious approach, but I look forward to sharing my creative inspiration with listeners around the world.
A very nice catch for Chieko Nishi, head of Spotify in Japan:
Chez Spotify, We strive to partner with the best creators to bring exciting podcasts to lifeto offer a new dimension of entertainment while bringing fans closer to what they love. Hideo Kojima’s podcasts will allow more listeners to enjoy his insights while supporting his own desire to push boundaries.
Guests in support of the father of MGS
In this ‘new adventure’, Hideo Kojima will be joined by Geoff Keighley, who will be a regular, but not exclusive, guest. We are talking about national and international guests from various sectors (business, technology and entertainment).
Without taking too much risk, we also rely on the director Nicolas Winding Item no (Drive, Bronson…), George Mueller (the Mad Max saga, The Witches of Eastwick…), Jordan Vogt Roberts (Kong: Skull Island, the future movie Metal Gear Solid…) or maybe even Michael Bay (Rock, Bad Boys…). Without forgetting that “Danish Treasure”said Kojima-san, Mads Mikkelsen. The list can be very long.
When we put “news” in quotes, it’s because the Death Stranding creator isn’t on his first try. When he was at Konami, he had his KJP Alert! and he was also on youtube with Hideotube.
The consequences of Hideo Kojima presents brain structure will be available in English and Japanese every Thursday at 14:00 (French time). As for Death Stranding 2…be patient! And even more so for Xbox cloud games, which aren’t coming anytime soon.
