“Impossible to Express in Words”: Studio Hideo Kojima addressed the players on the day of its 5th anniversary

Japanese studio Kojima Productions turned to the players with words of gratitude on the day of her 5th birthday and released a new art with her mascot Ludens. For Russian users, they even prepared an official translation of an interview with designer Youji Shinkawa about this character.

“On a planet, somewhere far from the Earth. Where a human has never stepped foot, there is a creature that silently looks into the distance. The outer shell, which looks like both a space suit and armor, contains the crystallization of the evolution of all living things that were born on earth.

Driven by an endless curiosity to explore, it travels wherever desire drives it. The creature is holding in its hand not a spear, not a weapon, but a flag. To commemorate your arrival.

We want to create the unimaginable and expand the world through the game. “It” was born from this concept. We are the people who play, Homo Ludens“, – says the material.

Kojima Productions thanked the audience for their support and noted that the past over a year has been particularly noteworthy for them as development has been completed Death stranding – Hideo Kojima’s first game as a freelance writer.

“Just over a year ago, our first Death Stranding game was released on PlayStation 4, and we were impressed with the reactions of both fans and critics. The PC version was created earlier this year with new exclusive content and recently won the Golden Joystick Award in the category PC Game of the Year.

This year has presented us with many challenging tasks. And we, as a studio, have been able to “keep up the good work” thanks in large part to the support of our wonderful community.
Photos taken by you, fanart, cosplay … all of this not only continues to motivate us, but also helps all of us stay in touch, which means a lot to us.

It is impossible to express in words how grateful we are to you. “

The press service of Kojima Productions clarified that today there will be no announcement of a new game… Instead, the team wants to delight fans with a variety of special content that will appear on its official social media pages within a few hours.

For example, this video is dedicated to the fact that Hideo Kojima received the prestigious BAFTA award (in the settings you can turn on Russian subtitles):

“In March 2023, Hideo Kojima was honored with the BAFTA (The British Academy Film Awards). This is the highest honor ever received by Spielberg and Hitchcock. Watch how the award traveled from BAFTA headquarters in London to our office in Tokyo. ! “

Earlier this week, Kojima Productions launched an official Russian-speaking community on the VKontakte social network. At the time of publication of this note, 27 thousand people managed to subscribe to it.
