Hideo Kojima wants to make a "revolutionary" horror video game. The director of Kojima Productions and Death Stranding has recognized in a meeting with the organization of the British BAFTA awards that, in the future, he has in mind to try to transcend a genre where he already has experience.

The Japanese creative, who has received the BAFTA Fellowship Honor during the gala held last night – it has been collected in the past by others such as John Carmack or Tim Schafer -, acknowledges that his goal is to do something that makes us “screw up in the pants"; an expression given in a relaxed and pleasant tone, obviously.
After working on the canceled Silent Hills P.T.:rther I have the confidence that I can create something more terrifying than what others could do, ”he says. "I freak out at things like darkness and imagining ghost shadows in dark moments." It is not the first time that he has said something like this; In November 2019, he already hinted at his desire to make “the most terrifying game so far”.

Kojima is determined to be able to make a horror game soon, but he must have something revolutionary. “P.T ended as a mere experiment, but I would like to do another horror game someday; Something that uses a revolutionary method of creating terror, that doesn't just make you pee in your pants, but shit in your pants. I already have ideas in my head. ”
Just a few months ago, the also winner of the Best Director award for The Game Awards, indicated in an interview that he will continue to design experiences in the future, although no more specific details emerged.
