Hideo Kojima says that one of his new games is “almost like a new medium,” and that it has the potential to change video games and film.

Speaking to The Guardian, Kojima said that one of his games is practically unprecedented, however he did not give many specific details about the new games he is working on.

In regards to the specific game he referenced in the interview, Kojima said that “it’s almost like a new medium,” and that he had been waiting for the right technology to make it.

“If this succeeds, it will turn things around, not just in the game industry, but in the movie industry as well.”

Kojima delved further into the fact that the game uses new technology with a new concept, saying that he’d probably have more commercial success if he wasn’t the first person to create new things. “For the first person, everything is hard. But I want to be the first. I want to keep being the first.”

It is likely that Kojima is working on a Death Stranding sequel after star Norman Reedus accidentally slipped on the news. Additionally, Kojima is working with Xbox on a project using its cloud technology. It’s possible that his ambitious title is the Xbox project, as he called it a “never before seen concept” back in June.

“It’s a completely new game that no one has ever experienced or seen before. I’ve waited very long for the day when I could finally start to create it,” Kojima said.
