Hideo Kojima stated last December that he hopes to give more information about his upcoming projects beyond the announced Death Stranding 2 (exclusive to PS5 at launch) throughout 2023. “In addition to DS2we are also preparing a completely new game, as well as some visual projects“He said at the time.
The Japanese creative presented the project for Xbox Cloud Gaming as “a completely new game, one that no one has ever seen or experienced before“. In an interview last October he said that “it’s almost like a new medium”. “If it is successful, it will change things not only in the video game industry but also in the film industry.”
