Hideo Kojima and Xbox Team Up

Hideo Kojima, Game Creator at Kojima Productions was present today at the Xbox Games Showcase to make a short but powerful announcement. He and his team have been working with Xbox on a new project.

Unfortunately, he chose to share next to nothing about what the project will be, beyond sharing that it is a “game I have always wanted to make.”

Kojima also implied that it’s a new game, and thus likely not part of any existing franchise. He also spoke briefly about Microsoft’s cloud technology, suggesting that the project might leverage that capability as well.

It’s not much to go on, but it’s an interesting new direction for the studio and auteur, as Kojima has more recently been connected to Sony and its PlayStation brand.

While it is exciting to learn how this project develops, there may still be some time before we can see the end result.
