As for the man himself, he’s been quite busy recently. As well as hinting at some new projects he’s involved with, Hideo Kojima recently released the first episode of his podcast, Brain Structure. His name carries a lot of weight in the industry, with his career spanning more than three and a half decades. He’s been credited with helping to kick-start the stealth genre through the Metal Gear series, and his stories have often been the subject of discussion. As such, many people are always keen to see what ideas he has in store, and a recent tweet confirms there’s not long to wait now.

Posting a number of images to his Twitter account, the Kojima Productions founder can be seen wearing what appears to be an Oculus VR headset. The tweet itself says that he has been doing a “final check” of what he’s referring to as “KJP” VR, which could obviously stand for Kojima Productions, but it’s not made clear. In any case, all will be revealed at some point during Tokyo Game Show, which runs until September 18. In the meantime, no doubt many will be speculating about what the gaming auteur has up his sleeve.
There have been rumors that Hideo Kojima is working on a horror game called Project Overdose. Very little is known about this elusive title, but there’s some interest in Kojima making a scary game, especially since the cancellation of P.T./Silent Hills back in 2015. Whether this is what gets announced or something else entirely cannot be said at this stage.
There have also been speculations about Death Stranding 2, which came about after Norman Reedus accidentally let slip that a sequel was in development. Again, nothing has been confirmed yet, but the opportunity to find out what VR project Hideo Kojima will be showing is exciting for any fan of his work. He is one of the most influential game developers around, so suffice to say, a lot of eyes and ears will be watching out for his appearance at TGS.
