He made two last generation. MGS4 and Peace Walker.

Never did play it so it doesn't register in my mind, lol

Nonetheless, I'm sure he's eager to prove himself a great creator again with new IP that he must have had in his head for years. Fully expecting it to be released, spilt, episodic or otherwise before end of 2018.

I don't think Kojima is the "JRPG" type guy personally. Yeah he made ZOE,which is basically an anime game, but that was an action game...

 

[delta_reg]

Two years from now (Q4 2018) would be wildly optimistic. We are just a few weeks from being in 2016 as it stands and he doesn't even have a team in place.

Q4 2018 is 3 years from now, not two. I could see him having a game out by then. It just might not be in the same scale as something like MGS 5 is all.

 

[Zee-Row]

Did Shinkawa join Kojima? I know he made the logo for the company but is he going to be doing the artwork for this new game?

Well it can be something similar to Lost Odyssey. JRPG doesn't necesarily needs an anime style.

 

[Amir0x]

I have to admit the last MGS I liked at all was MGS3, and that the story in the series is such convoluted garbage and some of the direction of characters so grotesque in MGSV that I will admit to being concerned about any game Kojima helms. That said, he's a visionary and it should be interesting to see for a bit at least. Should be a curiosity if nothing else.

 

[Omnistalgic]

So with all the praise I've seen Kojima do, you think he would attempt to make a more stylized open-world game with say a Japanese city?

Top two picks are
1) Open world game
2) RPG

 

[Inuhanyou]

I know that, i'd be the first person to say Dark Souls/Demons Souls ect are JRPGs.

My thing is, he seems like he likes direct action games as opposed to RPG mechanics in the titles he's made so far.

That's too much hype

For the people that want him to make an open world game..

a massively open japanese city could be good.
but i cannot avoid picturing persona when i think about it. so yeah.

 

[KZObsessed]

Cyber punk/horror RPG! Dunno how it would work, havn't thought too sensibly about it.

He wasn't the director for ZoE though.

Thanks to everyone that dismissed us as "fanboys" that were just wishing this would happen. In February we begin our 10th year, and we have many close relationships in the industry. Also, when the new officially broke and proved that we were right, thanks also for not shooting us an apology for the attacks...

We work harder than anyone apparently knows, and it sucks when you're not given a fair shake. We don't post "rumors" on our site or other clickbait BS you see on many other sites, but we're still treated like we do because we focus on a specific platform. Never change Internet.

 

[Nyoro SF]

Kojima making an action RPG would be pretty dope, I can see the absolute crazy anime/hollywood twists already

 

[SolidSnakex]

Did Shinkawa join Kojima? I know he made the logo for the company but is he going to be doing the artwork for this new game?

As of now Shinkawa (artist), Ken (producer), and Ayako (assistant) are the three people that we know have rejoined Kojima. I've checked Murata's (ZoE2 director) twitter and he hasn't updated it in a week or so.

That self-promotion = ban

 

[Inuhanyou]

A Nomura and Kojima collaboration!? That sounds positively confusing in all the right ways.

He was the brainchild.

"Predicted". You mean you guessed.

Let's be honest here.

LOL

I think that was Noriaki Okamura. Kojima was just the producer of it and the sequel.

[N.Domixis]

Ms should think about expanding their Japanese connections otherwise Sony will keep getting away with it.

 

[Blader]

Goddamn. Kojima wasted no time.

Looking forward to whatever KojiPro does next.

I would be surprised if he didn't join him. And I figure Konami wouldn't be happy if Yoji Shinkawa was busy making logos for another studio...seeing at the vice grip they have on their employees is tight..

That pic is like years old.

Have you seen Square's PlayStation lineup? They've already got away with it.

I'm not even touching what the smaller devs are doing.

 

[neojubei]

Good to see Kojima is back and Sony is helping out. Cannot wait to see what comes from this.

Man do i have a huge crush on Yoji Shinkawa.

my mistake. i'm assuming all the members pictured here are part of the new team though?

I think you mean it was his brainchild. Although, That does sound like a line from a Kojima game. The Patriots --> The Brainchildren

you may want to edit your post for your own safety. Not doing yourself any favors whining like that either.

[dhonk]

that logo is tite as fuck

 

[davidwhangchoi]

heheh

 

[Hypereides]

Honestly, I never imagined something like this to be concieved. With Sony's reputation for sharing tech, between studios, this exchange can bring some good things. Besides, both parties have a common factor of producing cinematic games.

Kojima, getting away from the MGS Saga has been long overdue. He needs to create something new.

On another note, its good they aren't neglecting the PC platform, which is a benefit for the gaming industry.

...do you want a hug or something? Somebody give Torgo a hug.

 

[Sum-Mischief]

Boom, Baby ...!

 

[Subtilia]

O this so beautiful!
And he kept the company name!
Also a stechhelm for logo!

Everything is awesome!


Expept for that terrible monocase type.

 

[BlondeTuna]

It's great to see the beginning of a new creative era for Kojima.

 

[Hockeymac18]

Happy for Kojima. Sad it won't come to Xbox, but at least there is the PC version.
