Newly formed Kojima Production’s first game is a PS4 console exclusive

It’s been quite the year for Hideo Kojima so this seems like an uplifting way to end it. Rumored, but properly announced today, Hideo Kojima’s own independent studio Kojima Productions has signed an agreement with Sony Computer Entertainment which means its first title will be an console exclusive for the PlayStation 4 (and thus probably end up on PC as well).

PlayStation’s history is one of game innovation and great new franchises. Hideo Kojima has been a huge part of that history, and we are therefore delighted that he has chosen to bring his brand new project to life in partnership with PlayStation. We look forward to working with him on an exciting new game and warmly welcome him to the PlayStation family.Andrew House, President and Global CEO of SCE

I will be taking on a new challenge by establishing my own independent studio, and I am thrilled to be able to embark on this journey with PlayStation, who I have continued to work with all these past years. I cannot wait to deliver, with PlayStation, a game that will become a compelling franchise.Hideo Kojima, game designer, Kojima Productions

We’re eager to see what he’s cooking up and in what decade it will be released, but hopefully some details will be shed at next years E3.
