- Hideo Kojima recently took to Twitter to imply that one of his upcoming games has entered crunch time.
- He also discussed his future, clarifying that he’s unsure about how much creativity he has left.
- The community has come forward to show support and encourage him to stick around for many decades.
Hideo Kojima confirms that one of his upcoming titles has entered ‘crunch time’ since most of the work was stalled last year due to many hiccups. Now, the projects are being produced in full force.
The industry veteran is working on multiple titles that even aliens would find cool centuries later.
Why it matters: Hideo Kojima’s remarks suggest that the development of either OD or Physint has entered crunch time to launch sooner. Kojima also feels like he has limited time to fulfill his vast ambitions.
Taking it to Twitter, the industry veteran implied that the studio is in crunch mode. Besides voice recording, tasks like ‘writing comments, explanations, essays, interviews, [and] discussions’ are also taking a lot of time.
However, he’s also looked towards the future and contemplated how much creativity he has left. Kojima argues that he is racing against the clock here.
On the other hand, fans have shown Kojima plenty of support, with some saying his best achievements are still ahead of him.
Kojima Productions’ OD is a horror title being developed in collaboration with Jordan Peele. On the flip side, Physint is an upcoming action espionage entry being developed in partnership with Sony.
Do you think Hideo Kojima will get exhausted and quit the gaming scene, or will he stick around for decades to come? Drop your thoughts in the comments, or join the discussion on the Tech4Gamers forum.
