Kodoani.com – Hideo Kojima appeared at the keynote at Apple’s 2023 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) to reveal that the game Death Stranding: Director’s Cut by Kojima Productions will launch for Mac later this year.
Kojima added that his team is actively working to bring their future titles to the Apple platform.
The Death Stranding game originally shipped for PlayStation 4 in November 2019. The game launched on PC via Steam in July 2020 after a delay from June 2020 due to COVID-19. Death Stranding: Director’s Cut, the PlayStation 5 version of the game, launches in September 2021. Death Stranding: Director’s Cut launches for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store in March 2022. The game is planned for a film adaptation at Hammerstone Studios (Barbarian, Bill and Ted Face the Music).
Kojima Productions is developing Death Stranding 2. The game will star Norman Reedus, Léa Seydoux, Elle Fanning, Shioli Kutsuna and Troy Baker.
Kojima said he finished the story for the sequel before the pandemic, but after going through the pandemic, he rewrote the whole story from scratch. He added that he also rewrote it because he “didn’t want to predict any more futures.” Koijma also said he’s working on another “brand new” game he’s testing, as well as other visual projects.
Kojima announced during the Xbox & Bethesda Game Showcase live stream in June that he’s working on a “special partnership” with Xbox Game Studios for a brand new game that “nobody has ever experienced or experienced.” see before.” Kojima said that he and Kojima Productions were finally able to create the game with “Microsoft’s cutting edge cloud technology and a change in industry trends.”
Kojima Productions confirmed in October 2020 that they are developing a new project and are currently looking for candidates for various positions at the Tokyo studio. Tech news website VentureBeat later reported in July 2021 that Kojima and Microsoft had reached a “detailed build” agreement for a new Xbox game. Kojima revealed in January that he would “start a new job in earnest and move to the next level of experimentation with a radical project” this year.
Kojima Productions has established a new division in Los Angeles, California in 2021 dedicated to music, television, and film.
