Hideo Kojima had grown a franchise out of the Metallic Gear Strong video games, and now he’s trying to start out on his personal once more with Kojima Productions’ Demise Stranding franchise. With so many profitable IPs seeking to enter the gaming market, Kojima was requested if he could be enthusiastic about creating one thing based mostly on licensed IP.
Speaking to IGN, Kojima reveals he’s ‘taking a stance’ in the case of engaged on his authentic IP with KojiPro. Kojima explains:
“Kojima Manufacturing isn’t publicly traded, so I don’t have some purpose of steadily rising the corporate… I simply wish to depart behind good work, and that’s the stance I’m taking whereas making video games, whereas additionally contemplating making different kinds of visible initiatives.
