Despite Signing off Metal Gear Solid, Hideo Kojima Is Still Speaking Its Language

Hideo Kojima marked his name as a legend after creating one of the greatest game franchises ever, Metal Gear. However, the greatness of the title went down in ruins once Kojima signed off the trademark to Konami. Allowing Konami to continue its business with the franchise altogether.

However, Metal Gear didn’t remain the same after Kojima left, which made fans yearn for an original from his studio. Initially, Kojima didn’t think of creating another Metal Gear game, as he technically couldn’t. However, he can create Physint, which has the DNA of his hit game franchise. You can take the man out, but not his ideas.

Once Hideo Kojima made his own game studio, people quickly jumped in as they saw his name. Death Stranding was his first take after creating a new studio, which was a massive hit, and a sequel is coming too. There are other titles Kojima wants to release, like OD, a horror game, and Physint, the spiritual successor of Metal Gear.

Very little is known about Kojima’s other titles, and they may not be coming soon. However, Kojima has a good idea what they would be like. He did say it would be an “action-espionage game,” which restores some faith. He shared his mind with

(GamesRadar) and put forward some interesting details.

But when I became sick during the pandemic, I realised that a lot of people wanted me to make something like Metal Gear. That’s when I had the idea for a new espionage game. I reflected, and thought the idea was good.

Death Stranding was his initial focus while starting Kojima Productions. However, when he got very sick during the pandemic, he realized that his days were numbered, and people wanted another game like Metal Gear. Maybe his ideas are all there in the secret USB he left as a will to his assistant. It’s a bit sad to know, but people will get what he envisioned.

Currently, it is known that Kojima is producing the game with Sony, and they even agreed with his ideas for the new IP. This will be a multi-platform project that will keep the studio running for a long time. Not just that, he even specified that even though they’re a game company, they aren’t at the same time. He ended the interview with a statement, “This is phase two for Kojima Productions.”

What did Kojima mean by saying phase two?

Physint as a title that “transcends the barriers between film and video games.” Kojima is known to be an avid fan of on-screen media and films, but he is also known to create groundbreaking games. So why not mix them both? That was probably what was going on in his mind.

It is pretty apparent that Kojima doesn’t want to stick to games; he wants to venture into other media. For instance, Kojima Productions is working to create an anime and live-action adaptation of Death Stranding. Thus, it is not bound by the title of the game production company.

So, will Physint be a game that is more of an interactive movie with fully playable “action-espionage” elements? Something like a mix of Detroit Become Human with Metal Gear? A story that will morph around player choices? It’s confusing when you’re not Hideo Kojima.

What do you think Physint would be like? Do you think Hideo Kojima will work on this title after finishing Death Stranding 2? Share your ideas and theories in the comments below!
