Hideo Kojima had grown a franchise out of the Metallic Gear Stable video games, and now he’s making an attempt to begin on his personal once more with Kojima Productions’ Loss of life Stranding franchise. With so many profitable IPs trying to enter the gaming market, Kojima was requested if he can be taken with creating one thing primarily based on licensed IP.
Speaking to IGN, Kojima reveals he’s ‘taking a stance’ on the subject of engaged on his authentic IP with KojiPro. Kojima explains:
“Kojima Manufacturing isn’t publicly traded, so I don’t have some objective of steadily rising the corporate… I simply need to go away behind good work, and that’s the stance I’m taking whereas making video games, whereas additionally contemplating making other forms of visible tasks. We’re going to keep up the stance of creating our personal IP and never engaged on IP licensed from others.”
Up to now, Kojima is doing properly along with his stance, along with his not too long ago introduced recreation being the sequel to Loss of life Stranding. Rumors are additionally going round that he’s making one other recreation starring Margaret Qualley referred to as Overdose, however that hasn’t been formally introduced.
Who is aware of, perhaps Kojima will change his tune sooner or later, however I respect his dedication to the craft. Let’s simply hope that him and his staff will handle to maintain adapting to the brand new market, in contrast to Nintendo which took endlessly to permit third-party video games on their console.
No launch date has been introduced for Loss of life Stranding 2 but, however hopefully the sport comes out late 2023 or mid-2024.
