Hideo Kojima recently spoke briefly about a game he’s working on for Xbox in a recent interview. The creator of Death Stranding claims that Microsoft is the only publisher to “get” his vision. He said: Also, he has big plans for the future of Kojima Productions, and he claims that someday he will use artificial intelligence to manage the company. The question was about the legacy he hopes to leave at Kojima Productions 50-100 years from now. Though he plans to remain at the head of Kojima Productions until the end of his days, he has hinted that an artificial intelligence could one day succeed him. He said: Making the wrong choice can result in failure, of course. It’s a bit like a space program in that way. The project we’re working on with Microsoft is one I have been thinking about for five or six years already. The project required infrastructure that was never needed before, so I discussed it with lots of different big companies and gave presentations, but they really seemed to think that I was mad. It was ultimately Microsoft who showed that they understood, and now we’re working together on the project, including the technology front.” Kojima may have been being satirical with his answers, but who knows? He is ‘Hideo Kojima’ after all. But tell us what you think in the comments, and if you think the studio can one day live up to its founder’s vision.
