In a recent interview, Hideo Kojima, the
legendary director behind the popular video game “ Death Stranding ,” hinted at
the possibility that his creation could expand into the world of anime . Kojima
mentioned that his current goal is to “strengthen the intellectual properties”
he has developed as an independent studio, and that to do so, he plans to
explore new forms of media beyond video games, including movies, anime, and
television series.
In his own words, Kojima commented that after
having established “Death Stranding” as an IP in the world of video games, the
second phase of his plan is to expand it to different global platforms and then
explore other media. This includes the creation of content in formats
such as movies and anime, which opens the door to a possible animated
adaptation of this title.
Originally released in 2019, Death Stranding has
become a critically acclaimed game, praised by both critics and gamers alike
for its innovative gameplay, narrative, and stunning visuals. With a cast of
Hollywood A-listers including Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen, Kojima has
proven his ability to merge the worlds of film and video games. Now, with his
focus on expanding this fusion into other media, fans are beginning to
speculate on what an animated version of the story would look like.
While Kojima did not explicitly confirm the production
of an anime based on “Death Stranding,” his statements suggest that the
expansion of this IP is a fundamental part of his future projects. The possibility
of seeing Sam Porter Bridges in animated format has generated great
expectations among fans of the franchise, who are attentive to any official
announcement that may arise in the coming months.
For now, the director is still working on the sequel
to “Death Stranding,” as well as other experimental projects. However, the
idea that Kojima Productions could delve into the world of anime is already a
cause of excitement and speculation in the community of gamers and fans of the
studio.
