Hideo Kojima Teases Two New Game Projects: A ‘Big’ Title and a ‘New Challenge’

In his end-of-year message for fans, creator Hideo Kojima teased two new video game projects, one of which is a “big” title and the other has been described as “a new challenge.”

Kojima made his comments in Famitsu’s annual year-end feature that interviews Japanese developers and quizzes them about their plans for the upcoming year. He said, “As the boundaries of entertainment disappear in the near future, I’d like to make this a year that we take a step forward into challenging different mediums and expressions.”

Kojima has been long-rumored to be working on a new Silent Hill game despite his high-profile fallout with Konami. He has repeatedly denied the rumors but many known insiders and journalists have corroborated hearing similar reports so the status of Silent Hill is still a big question mark.

Earlier this month, Kojima said that his company Kojima Productions is actively hiring for a variety of roles with the aim of creating “original” and “outrageous” AAA titles. Some of the advertised job descriptions talk about making “high-end projects” so while we don’t know what Kojima is up to, it’s definitely something “big.”

Elsewhere in Famitsu’s set of interviews, Atlus teased an announcement for 2022.

“The staff are working hard on development to make something that’ll be interesting and satisfying for everyone,” said Shinjirou Takada. “With Shin Megami Tensei V finally released, we are taking a breath of relief, although we hope to announce something this year (2022) too, so please stay tuned.”
