“Hideo Kojima Doesn’t Consider Himself a Prophet”: Death Stranding Developers on the Parallels between Game and Reality

Head of the marketing department of the studio Kojima productions Aki Saito answered a number of questions from the editorial board GameMAG.ru in a recent interview.

The specialist, in particular, commented on the popular opinion on the network that Hideo Kojima is almost a real prophet: the developer often releases games in which he somehow talks about topics that become especially relevant several years later. Saito assured us that personally Kojima absolutely does not consider himself a prophet.

“Hideo said he did not even suspect that a pandemic of this magnitude [как коронавирусная] can shake our world. And the answer to the question of whether he is a prophet is definitely not. [Кодзима] explained that if he could predict the future, he would release much more financially successful games, “Aki Saito answered the playful question.

Also, senior marketer Kojima Productions spoke about the likelihood that in the future the studio will work on a project in which it will be possible to have a direct impact on the storyline. As it turned out, to date, this venture does not seem too attractive because of how Hideo Kojima approaches writing the script.

“The stories in our games are built in such a way that first Hideo needs to completely finish work on the storyline. We believe that the story should work in a certain way: the game has a final ending, the effect on which [игрок] I’m not able to provide, “Aki Saito replied.
