What we know about Kojima Productions’ next project
There’s not a lot to glean from the job applications, especially when I’m using Google Translate to get this information. But I did find something interesting in the Weapons/Mechanical Artist job description, which apparently describes “3D model production of weapons, gadgets, vehicles, mechas, etc.” There weren’t any mechas (giant robots) in Death Stranding, so it’s possible that Kojima Productions may be working on a new project. We do know that Hideo Kojima is quite fond of mechas in general, given their appearance in the Metal Gear Solid franchise. It’ll be interesting to see some show up in the next Kojima Productions project. Everything else included in the job listings seemed like standard game development lingo. It’s fun to imagine what Kojima will come up with next but we probably won’t see anything about the new project for at least a year or two from now.
