After creatingMetal Gear Solid, founding his own studio to developDeath Strandingand becoming best pals with most of Hollywood,Hideo Kojima’s next big ambition is apparently to be blasted into space to make a game.
That’s according to the legendary dev himself, who told the crowd assembled at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival to watch Hideo Kojima: Connecting Worlds, the recent documentary about his creative process, that he’d love to create a game playable in space… while in space.

“I wanna go to outer space and create a game that you can play in space,” Kojima continued. “Because, right now, all games you can’t properly play in outer space, but I wanna create something- I’ll play that. So someone, please, send me up to space.”
While it’s hard to tell exactly how much Kojima was joking, I wouldn’t assume it’s completely in jest. After all, the developer hasn’t been afraid to get experimental in the past, designing sunlight-powered Game Boy Advance roleplaying game Boktai - which included a working solar panel used to charge the player’s vampire-hunting guns in-game - andspeaking for many yearsabout his desire to create a game that literally self-destructs on a Game Over.

In other words, if you’re going to bet against a game developer going to space to develop a game you can play in space whenever he’s done withDeath Stranding 2,making a movieandwhatever else Kojima Productions has cooking, I wouldn’t bet against Hideo Kojima. Just be assured that, whether he goes, there’s a good chance he’ll take Norman Reedus with him.
