Hideo Kojima documentary Connecting Worlds releases worldwide this spring

Hideo Kojima says he was "opposed by everyone" when starting his own company eight years ago.

Hideo Kojima says that when he parted ways with Konami, he was «opposed» by peers, colleagues, and relatives" who told him that going independent would «never work».

Hideo Kojima and Jordan Peele's newly-announced game,, seems to have a lot in common with his canceled project. Announced at The Game Awards 2023,, like almost all Kojima's games before it, immediately attracted a lot of speculation. His reputation precedes him, but it's well deserved. Kojima is credited with the invention of the modern stealth game in 1987's, and all his other games since have attempted to break boundaries in a variety of different ways.

The fierce battle for streaming rights rages on, and it looks like Disney+ has conquered when it comes to acquiring exclusivity on Hideo Kojima’s hotly anticipated documentary. Announced a little while ago – and premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival this summer – Hideo Kojima: Connecting Worlds is scheduled to release globally Spring 2024.

Hideo Kojima - the famed video game director behind Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding - has reflected on his own studio’s eighth birthday with some sage advice from Guillermo Del Toro.

Death Stranding is coming to the big screen, thanks to a partnership between indie film studio A24 and game developer Kojima Productions. The announcement comes ahead of the Hideo Kojima-helmed studio's 8th anniversary. The film adaptation will focus on the mysteries surrounding the titular apocalyptic event that brought the nightmarish creatures called BT into the living world, blurring the lines between the dead and the living through a portal. Instead of a direct translation of the divisive 2019 video game, the film will serve as a companion piece that further expands the solitary universe. The world of Death Stranding is also set to return in DS2, a sequel announced at last year's The Game Awards.

Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding live-action movie adaptation is really happening, and now A24, the studio behind Everything Everywhere All at Once, Uncut Gems, and Hereditary, is involved. Kojima Productions and A24 announced their collaboration on Thursday, offering new details about their Death Stranding movie and further reinforcing that, yeah, this this is actually happening.

A24 is ready to bring Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding to life.

The Death Stranding movie won't be a direct adaptation of the original game.

Hideo Kojima’s next game, outside of Death Stranding 2, OD, was revealed during The Game Awards, and most people loved the look of it. Keen-eyed fans have already dissected the trailer, and upon finding what they believe is a Silent Hill reference, they’re more intrigued than ever.

It’s not controversial to say that Death Stranding is not a game for everyone, but Kojima Productions’ open world title has, nonetheless, continued to attract a healthy number of players ever since its launch in 2019. It has, in fact, crossed another major milestone on that front.
