As promised, Hideo Kojima revealed a new video during a talk at San Diego Comic-Con. Unfortunately, it wasn’t for his next game, Death Stranding. Instead it is a “logo film for Kojima Productions”, his new studio.
Even so, it’s still pretty cool. It shows the studio’s mascot planting a flag on the moon, except underwater.

“At first it looks like Ludens is under water, his footprints are there,” Kojima explained during his lecture through a translator. “He looks like he’s going in the sea or somewhere. The whole idea is to go anywhere he’s ever been, then you have something big in front of the character.
“You think it is the ocean, but it turns out to be another planet. Then you have the flag and the giant whale, the effect of which makes it difficult to tell whether it is real or not. The whole idea is what Ludens crossed. He tries to play with Ludens when he plants his flag. It gets really boring when you explain everything. “
Kojima was asked if the Luden character will be in Death Stranding.
“No, Ludens won’t be in Death Stranding, but people can play with this character. Go ahead and put them in your fan art or whatever.”
During the event, Kojima discussed the establishment of a new Kojima Productions after he left Konami. In particular, he talked about Ludens, the studio’s mascot.
“Kojima Productions is represented in Ludens. The concept is to use cutting-edge technology and explore the unknown. A scientist in the Netherlands suggested the concept that the more we play, the more we play, the more we evolve. I want to be, I want this one Put concept in homoludens.
“I created the concept and gave it [Yoji] Shinkawa. The kind of gear you can go anywhere with is a spacesuit … I wanted it to be somewhere between samurai and knight.
The first trailer for Death Stranding was revealed at E3 2016. It featured The Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus weighing a baby and many stranded whales. While it was pretty confusing, it’s also full of clues. According to Kojima, the trailer shown during E3 is “representative” of the final.
The creator of Metal Gear also previously said that his new PlayStation 4 and PC game will be the best he has ever made. This post will tell you more about what we know about Death Stranding so far.
A release date for Death Stranding has not yet been announced, but don’t expect it anytime soon. Recently, Kojima said, “Our game is still a long way from being released.”
