Hideo Kojima promises that Kojima Productions will remain an independent studio, crazy sums have been offered

    Back in April, there were rumors that Kojima Productions was about to be acquired by Sony Interactive Entertainment in a bid to retaliate against Microsoft's acquisition of Action Blizzard. Hideo himself then had to intervene through Twitter to put an end to these hallway noises. "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, but Kojima Productions has been and will remain an independent studio," he said. In a new issue of his Brain Structure podcast, Kojima-san made a point of recalling that he had no intention of allying himself with anyone.

    "Let me remind you that we are an independent studio. We are not associated with anyone and have no financial support," he stressed. However, according to the creator of Metal Gear Solid, there are plenty of opportunities. "Every day I receive buyout offers from all over the world. Some of them show crazy sums of money but I'm not interested in the money, he said. I want to do what I have want to do. That's why I founded this studio. As long as I'm alive, I don't think I'll accept one."

    We recall that Hideo Kojima is currently developing a project on behalf of Microsoft. In a recent interview with The Guardian, he made it clear that his next game would be revolutionary without specifying whether it was indeed the one intended for the Redmond firm. "It's as if it were a new medium, he said in particular. If it works, it could change the course of things not only in the video game industry, but also in that of cinema." But when we remember the words he made during the announcement at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase, it leaves no room for doubt.

    "There is a game that I have always dreamed of making, he had dropped. The kind of game that no one has yet seen or experienced. I have waited a long time for the day when I can finally start developing it. Thanks to Microsoft's cutting-edge Cloud technology, and new trends within the industry, I am finally able to challenge myself and offer this concept never seen before." Finally, there are also chances that Hideo Kojima is working on Death Stranding 2 - even if nothing has been formalized yet - as well as on a horror game called OVERDOSE.
