as well as a line of projects like the Death Stranding anime and A24 film adaptations he's been keeping his word as of late. But Kojima's 60s have also been the peak of him dropping somewhat morbid details in interviews.

Basically, dude has been getting weird with it.

reading, "As I get older, the things I 'have to do' and the things I 'want to do' continue to increase. At the same time, the time I 'have to do them' continues to decrease." He adds, "I constantly need to reassess how I use my time and how I live my life. That said, once you've taken something on, you can't simply put it down and walk away."

Everyone at KJP threw a celebration for me. Thank you so much

Kojima also notes that 2026 marks the 40th anniversary of his career in games, with 1986 being the year he joined Konami, as well as the year the first title he ever worked on, Penguin Adventure, was released. Not only that, but the end of 2025 marked the 10th anniversary of the founding of the revived Kojima Productions as an independent studio.

The Death Stranding director also reaffirms his dedication to making games, by saying, "While I continue to receive various opportunities and offers, I would like to remain focused on creating games." So while it's been an expectation among fans that Kojima is eager one day to move on to direct a film, it may not be as likely as some expect.
