Hideo Kojima says he’s making Metal Gear successor because fans kept asking him to

Acclaimed director Hideo Kojima had a ton to say about his upcoming action-espionage title this week, confirming the new game is a successor to Metal Gear Solid and that he decided to make it because fans really wanted him to do so.

Kojima, one of the gaming industry’s biggest stars, spoke in great detail about his upcoming projects in a Feb. 9 HideoTube episode. While much related to Death Stranding 2 was discussed, plenty was also said about Physint, the action-espionage title many suspected to be a potential Metal Gear Solid spiritual successor. These suspicions proved correct as Kojima said he’s making it to honor the wishes of his fans, who’ve been asking for a new Metal Gear game for over eight years. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain came out in 2015 and was the last game Kojima produced as part of Konami.
