It’s been a few months since we’ve learned about Hideo Kojima’s new studio, after his Konami departure was finalized. But thanks to Gematsu, we now know some new insights into what the future holds for Hideo’s next project.
In regards to the game itself, Hideo narrowed his vision down to something more specific. “It’s an amazing game. We’re thinking about everything all at once, including the plot, characters, and game systems,” Kojima said. “While not to say that it’s open-world, users who enjoy today’s AAA games (The Division and Uncharted, etc.) will be able to easily enjoy it.”
Back in December, Sony was proud to announce that the game would be console exclusive to the PS4.
Kojima explained why he chose Sony as their partners for the game.
Offers came in from all over the world, but these places use a Hollywood system, and I don’t like doing detailed presentations. From there, I wondered who would put their faith in me with just a rough concept, and SIE was who I was looking for.
The last bit of information mentioned was that Kojima wanted to approach virtual reality sometime in the future, but he didn’t have anyone to work with on that at the moment.
