In a recent interview with Livedoor News, Hideo Kojima shared news about Kojima Productions and whats next for the company. Death Stranding was profitable and profit has been secured for Kojima’s next game. Here’s the official excerpt from the interview, courtesy of Gematsu:
—How did Death Stranding perform sales-wise?
Kojima: “We surpassed the amount we needed to make a profit, so I think it sold well enough to be called a ‘success,’ recoupment of development costs included. We’ll release the PC version soon and have already secured enough profit to prepare for what’s next, so there’s no need to worry.”
—To prepare for what’s next…?
Kojima: “I can’t say anything since it’s still in the planning stages, but we’re doing various work behind the scenes. Just recently, a big project fell apart, so I’m a bit upset about that (laughs). Well, that sort of thing happens often in this industry.”
—Do you know anything about recent rumors to acquire the copyrights to Metal Gear Solid and P.T.?
Kojima: “Ah, that’s completely false. I haven’t heard anything about it at least (laughs).”
Death Stranding is out now for PS4 and coming to PC on July 14th. Stay tuned at Final Weapon for the latest Japanese gaming news!
