Hideo Kojima, the legendary creative mind behind iconic games such as Death Stranding 2 and Metal Gear Solid, has revealed he has a contingency plan in place for Kojima Productions in the event of his death. Despite being 61 years old and actively working on multiple projects, Kojima has thoughtfully prepared for the future of his studio and its creative output.
Fans are eagerly anticipating upcoming titles like Death Stranding 2, a mysterious horror game called OD, and the stealth action project Physint. But Kojima isn’t just focused on his current work—he’s also made arrangements to ensure his ideas live on even after he’s gone.
In a recent conversation with Edge Magazine (via VideoGamesChronicle), Hideo Kojima shared that he handed a USB drive containing files with future game concepts to his personal assistant. He described this as his “will,” hoping that Kojima Productions can continue to develop new projects after his passing.
Kojima expressed concern that without him, the studio might limit itself to managing existing intellectual properties rather than creating new games. Given his well-known passion for innovative and unconventional game ideas, it’s clear he wants his vision to endure.
This contingency plan highlights Kojima’s commitment to the longevity of Kojima Productions and his desire to ensure his creative legacy remains alive for years to come.
