Kojima talks about Death Stranding movie and the upcoming new game
Legendary game director Hideo Kojima shared new information in an interview with IGN, about his upcoming Death Stranding sequel and movie, along with his brand new IP, which was also announced in June.
During the interview, Kojima talked about his approach to the Death Stranding movie. “My intention from the start was never to make a blockbuster film,” said Kojima and continued, “I’m aiming for a more arthouse approach, and the only person who offered to make a film like that was Alex Lebovici, which makes me think he’s a rather unusual type.”
Kojima also talked about his upcoming brand-new IP, which is yet to be named, and how he decided to partner with Microsoft.
“The project required infrastructure that was never needed before, so I discussed it with lots of different big companies and gave presentations, but they really seemed to think that I was mad. It was ultimately Microsoft who showed that they understood, and now we’re working together on the project, including the technology front.”
When Kojima made the announcement back in June, Kojima described his new game as“a brand-new experience like you’ve never seen before.”
