Hideo Kojima shared a new poster for his upcoming horror game OD: KNOCK🚀 It’s genuinely hard to tell whether this is live action or in-game. And the fact that Sophia Lillie hasn’t had a short hair for a while, makes me think this is in-game😱

Hideo Kojima is returning as Hideyoshi Oshima in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. CD PROJEKT RED confirmed the braindance director who already appears at the Konpeki Plaza bar in Cyberpunk 2077 will show up again in the anime. The character was modeled after and voiced by Kojima in the game. He had already said he had cameo roles in two anime projects. Edgerunners 2 is a new 10-episode ensemble story set in Night City that starts on Netflix on October 20. Bringing the same character back ties the anime directly to the existing cameo.

Hideo Kojima has acknowledged a fan-made port of P.T. that allows the game to run natively on Windows, making it playable for a wide majority of users after it was relegated to PS4 hell.

Hideo Kojima says he has “mixed feelings” about NVIDIA’s DLSS 5. He said it on KOJI10, the podcast he hosts with TBS announcer Maoko Hibi, after fans sent him comparisons of the tech running on Death Stranding 2. DLSS 5 uses generative AI to rebuild light and textures. Hibi asked if the game was already ahead of the technology. Kojima disagreed. “We want the actors to look their best,” he said, and added that the team keeps refining the lighting on each shot. “There was a reason I chose a particular lighting setup.” He said he would not want someone changing the original too much, even if the technology will “probably become standard.” “I don’t much like the idea.”

Hideo Kojima’s Physint reportedly has a budget of around $400 million, according to The Game Business. The huge reported budget is said to have spooked Sony, which later walked away from the project. Xbox has since reportedly picked up the game. Jason Schreier also described the budget as “pretty significant less” Jason Schreier uses to lie a lot so don’t believe too much

Hideo Kojima posted new official art for PHYSINT. The poster shows Bill Skarsgård and Charlee Fraser and lists Don Lee and Minami Hamabe. The tagline is “The Next Cold War Begins.” Credits name Kojima for scenario, production, game design, and direction, and Yoji Shinkawa for character and mechanical design. Xbox and MetaHuman logos appear on the poster. A second image from Kojima Productions and Xbox shows the same four-person cast under the line “A Hideo Kojima Game.” Kojima confirmed Skarsgård as the lead. PHYSINT is an action-espionage game from Kojima Productions, now published by Xbox.

Hideo Kojima turns 63 today, and the legendary creator says he has more ideas for games than ever before, but less time left to make them. The Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding creator has spent decades making games, and he says the biggest problem now is how long game development takes "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. I constantly need to reassess how I use my time and how I live my life."

Hideo Kojima wants to be the first game developer to scan a real ghost for his upcoming horror game OD. He plans to travel the world and visit famously haunted locations to track down paranormal entities.

Hideo Kojima shared a new photo with Hunter Schafer while working on his new horror game OD. This suggests he’s using his motion capture scanning process on her. Kojima usually scans actors to capture their real movements and expressions for lifelike characters in his games.
