Hideo Kojima will make a new spy game for PlayStation
The first State of Play of 2024 ended with a real bombshell. This was announced by Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios Hideo Kojima will make a new spy and action game for PlayStation. However, it has yet to go into production as Kojima Productions’ current efforts are focused on the finishing touches Death Stranding 2which will arrive sometime in 2025.
It’s obvious that they didn’t go too deep into this project. The only thing we know is that Hideo Kojima will rely on Sony technology to deliver Ultra realistic experience As for the graphics section. They also promise a luxury cast. Since then there should be no doubt about it because Death Stranding, since its first installment, featured the participation of widely known actors. The second part follows the same path…
“With the full support of Sony Interactive Entertainment, this new spy action game will use cutting-edge technology and an all-star cast to deliver an experience like no other. It blurs the lines between movies and games, offering near-realistic graphics and a new vision of interactive entertainment,” mention Kojima Productions.
Hideo Kojima assures that it will be the highlight of his work
A particularly relevant detail is that This presentation was filmed at the Columbia Pictures facility, a Sony Pictures film studio. Given Hideo Kojima’s love of the seventh art and his excessive attention to the narrative experience of all his titles, it can’t surprise us that this project plays around with some cinematic elements. It’s strange that the announcement gives importance to the location of Hulst and Kojima…
“It will be a brand new intellectual property. A next generation spy and action game. We are still developing it, but production will start at Kojima Productions after Death Stranding 2. We have many years of experience with Sony. Together, they nurtured the spy genre for nearly 30 years (referring to Solid metal gearbox). Moreover, Sony does not only produce games, but also music and movies. “It will definitely be a very strong collaboration.”
Hideo Kojima.
This project is so important that Hideo Kojima himself considers it a great culmination of his extensive career: “In 2 years I will celebrate my 40th anniversary as a game producer and I am sure that this title It will be the culmination of my work.”
Obviously, if anyone has a wealth of experience with spy games, it’s Hideo Kojima. His work in Solid metal gearbox influenced the future of the video game industry. It will be interesting to see what he can achieve with today’s technological means and Sony’s strong financial background…
