Hideo Kojima appeared on the NHK Radio special ”Wonderful World of Game Music” and revealed he and Kojima Productions are working on a AAA game that everyone will be able to enjoy.
Kojima in a translation by Twitter account Genki says the game is "a big AAA title that everyone will say that they want to play."
He also mentioned a desire to work on a smaller project that isn't open-world or a shooter. Kojima Productions is also working on an anime. Kojima also mentioned they don't have enough staff and are currently struggling recruiting new staff from abroad due to the ongoing pandemic.
It was announced this week by publisher 505 Games and developer Kojima Productions that Death Stranding Director's Cut will be coming to PC via Steam and Epic Games Store this spring.
"We’re delighted to announce our partnership with Intel for Death Stranding Director’s Cut on PC," said 505 Games president Neil Ralley at the time. "Death Stranding has been a hugely popular game with PC players and we’re excited to see how Intel’s new XeSS technology will enhance player experiences for Director’s Cut."

I know it is the "thing" to hate on Kojima and his commentary but the man has made some very influential games in his career.
I am always intrigued by any game he is a part of but I really hope for this next title he really focuses on EVERY aspect that goes into game creation and ultimately overall enjoyment.
I really thought Death Stranding could have been one of those games that would be in the same league as Metal Gear Solid but certain things held it back from ever reaching those same heights, IMO.
When it comes to Kojima's games you would be hard pressed to find another developer who puts the same level of care into their craft and Death Stranding was no exception. The graphics, the cutscenes, the story (albeit weird.), the environments, the world, the lore, the soundtrack, the character development... all where top notch.
The only problem came with probably the most important thing in a videogame... the actual gameplay itself.
I know there are those out there that absolutely adore Death Stranding but I found the implementation of repeated fetch missions tiresome after the 5th or so rendition. If that mission sequence was just shaken up even a little bit I have a feeling we would all be talking about Death Stranding as one the best games of the last 10 years.
Once again, I'm excited to see what exactly Kojima has cooking up but I just hope that this time he has all the ingredients in his recipe before he starts.
-MORE TIME IN THE OVEN NINJA APPROVED-
Are there things you disapprove of?
Yes.
Once in a blue moon but when I do it is for a darn good reason.
-JUSTIFIED NINJA APPROVED-
I can't believe how much coverage this guy gets. I feel like he gets about half as much coverage as Phil Spencer, but only has his hand on 1/100 of as much of the gaming industry as Spencer does.
We shall see. He has yet to make a game I want to play. I'm not into horror games or ones doing weird things with babies.
I hope it does involve horror and weird things with babies, Death Stranding is easily one of the most impressive and artistic games ever made :o
This Game has be his "Magnum Opus Game"
If its smaller and not open world, I'm interested. His linear games were much more fun to play than his open world titles.
So it will be on every console and pc?
He wants to also make a smaller game? Now I'm interested.
Oh so a successor to Zone of the Enders or Snatcher or POlicenauts because Sorry Kojima. That's the only games of yours I liked.
Seriously, I have no freaking idea why some people keep believing in his BS. The guy is clearly making up everything and whenever something ends up being true, people don't realize that 90% of all the BS he came up with did not happen and it is just pure luck or obvious shit... Like when he "got some insider info" that future Bethesda titles (like Starfield) would be exclusives... I mean, come on... You do not need to be an 'insider' to guess that and even if it would have ended up behind false, fanboys apart, or people who really wished for it, the majority knew it would be the most probable thing to happen... What a joke this guy is...
