Hideo Kojima Had Asked to Retire After Exiting Konami, But He Refused

The breakup of Hideo Kojima and Konami in 2015 indeed became a separate topic among gamers. It also signifies a very unclear fate for the continuation of the Metal Gear Solid series. Konami’s efforts to preserve the franchise could be said to be too blunder when they did it without the help of the hands of the 55-year-old man.

While for Kojima himself, he finally took a bold decision to create his own game studio and established a cooperative relationship with Sony so that his ideas and imagination could still be optimized again as usual. And from there it was also the announcement regarding Hideo Kojima’s latest game entitled Death Stranding that surfaced and made the enthusiasm of the fans waiting for his work flared up again.

Amidst Kojima’s quite heroic steps, did you know that since he left Konami, he had been overwhelmed by a doubt that might influence his current choice of life? Reported directly from the posting of his personal Twitter account in the English version, he is concerned that something we believe can make you always expect the best for his condition along with the game he is working on.

It has long been realized that now that he has reached the age of more than half a century since deciding to work independently, Hideo Kojima turned out to have experienced a mental upheaval which made him confused in making a choice. Will he stop making games, or follow his willingness to inspire many people?
