Just a week ago, information reached the media that put us on the track of what Hideo Kojima’s next project will be, one of the last remaining gurus of the old industry and thanks to whom we owe masterpieces like the saga metalgear or, more recently, Death Stranding. The fact is that his new project with Microsoft, announced on June 12, has revolutionized an industry that is looking for evidence of what will be what you’re into.
Kojima returns to terror
If you remember, it was the web Try Hard Guides which published a whole series of data on what would that new Kojima Productions game be, offering the name, development and even the face of one of its characters. The first was overdosethe second a development of terror in the first and third person and the last Margaret Qualley, whom we saw again after passing through Death Stranding in the role of Mom. So she now has to fit the puzzle of what the Japanese came to say at the Microsoft conference.
And one of those details is that his new game was going to use the technological power of cloud gaming from Microsoft, without specifying a platform, so it is clear that not only PC or Xbox could be their destination stations, but any other device that has a screen and a stable internet connection, such as smartphones with iOS and Android, or tablets. In such a way that in one fell swoop he would end up taking his overdose to any imaginable corner of the planet.
Hideo Kojima has always expressed his creativity in countless interviews in which has come to speculate about potential projects in which he would like to explore new limits. Surely Microsoft has opened that door wide for him, which has caused him to pronounce in the showcase of the North Americans a phrase that says it all: “this is the game I always wanted to make”, surely not only because of the theme but also because of the ability to take it everywhere. To all the world.
It is confirmed in the information
As we tell you, in the last few hours Try Hard Guides has not only reaffirmed everything it published, and that served to receive a request from Kojima Productions to remove any news related to overdosebut they expand a little more the things that, precisely, come to confirm what was seen in the showcase from Microsoft.
And it is that from the medium they reveal new information such as those images of overdose to which they had access seemed to be recorded to a person who was playing with a mobile phone, a Google Pixel almost certainly, which would serve as total confirmation after the announcement that the technology in the North American cloud has been key for the Japanese to get on the bandwagon of the Xbox ecosystem.
But there is more. In the year 2020 Stadia canceled dozens of projects that it had planned to produce, including a horror that would be distributed in episodes. The thing remained there until in May of the same year Hideo Kojima confessed that “I recently had a project canceled important to me, so I’m pretty angry.” Is it possible that the work he initially did for Google’s cloud platform has ended up in the hands of Microsoft?
We’ll see, but for now overdose It’s the only clue we have about the new that prepares the Japanese.
