Thats according to studio art director Yoji Shinkawa, who was asked if he could share any details about the companys second game during a video interview with Al Hub.
"Well yeah, I am doing something, for sure, and I could tell you probably that we can announce it quite soon," said Shinkawa, a long-time Hideo Kojima collaborator who is best known for his character and mecha design work on the Metal Gear franchise.
Kojima Productions confirmed in October 2020 that it was staffing up for a new game project. The Death Stranding developer said at the time that it was seeking "the best-in-class talent" to fill 25 open positions at its Tokyo studio.
Kojima has teased his next project ever since the release of Death Stranding in November 2019. That month, he suggested he was watching horror movies in preparation for a future project, and in April 2020 he said hed like to make a "revolutionary" horror game one day.
The following month Kojima claimed hed recently had a "major" in-development project cancelled, but that he was "in the early planning stages" for his next game. More recently he teased his next game on Twitter, with images that suggested it could be Death Stranding 2.
