Now thatHideo Kojimahas announced yet another of his games is in development, he might just be working on three games simultaneously.

Last year, Metal Gear Solid designer Hideo Kojima celebrated his 60th birthday and told fans thathe has no plans to retire - and wants to “create things” for the rest of his life. It appears the developer has stayed true to his promise as not even six months later, he’s revealed he’s working on three large-scale projects.

The first of these projects - and potentially the furthest one along - isDeath Stranding 2. We first found out about the sequel in 2022, and since then we’ve discovered the game’s full title - Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - and as of last night’sPlayStation State of Play, got abrand new lengthy trailerfor it too.

During the same presentation, Kojima also announced, alongside the head of PlayStation Studios Herman Hulst, that he is working ona new “action espionage game"for thePS5that will be “the culmination” of his 40-year career in game development. Production on the yet-to-be-named title is going to officially start after the release of Death Stranding 2, but I’m wondering how Kojima has time for all of it.

Alongside both of these, Kojima is also working withMicrosoftand filmmaker Jordan Peele to create a horror game experience calledOD. This game wasrumored for a long timeand evenleaked in the weirdest way possibleback in 2022. Last December though, it wasofficially revealedwith an unsettling trailer at The Game Awards 2023. Let’s not forget that there’s also aDeath Stranding moviein the works whichKojima is supervising but not directing.

Earlier this year,the developer said that 2024 is going to be a “tough year"with everything he’s got going on, and now we understand why.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
