Hideo Kojima talks about Death Stranding 3
Hideo Kojima made the remarks during an interview during the “Death Stranding 2” world tour over the weekend. When asked about the possibility of making Death Stranding 3, he stated that he does have the concept of a third Death Stranding game.
“Well, I’m not planning on doing that right now,” Kojima said. “Because the ending of Death Stranding 2 is my ending to Death Stranding 1 and Death Stranding 2.
“But I had written down the concept for DS3, so I had the data. I was hoping someone would create it for me.”
Kojima seems reluctant to personally participate in the production of “Death Stranding 3” – at least not yet. However, Kojima Productions is developing at least two games. Hideo Kojima is working with filmmaker Jordan Peele on OD, a horror game to be published by Xbox Game Studios. The project released a brief trailer at The Game Awards 2023. Recently, Microsoft confirmed that OD is still in production amid widespread Xbox cuts and project cancellations.
