Reports are flooding in and are saying that Hideo Kojima might be working on a new project. Additionally, indications of past remarks from Kojima resonate with a new tweet, which publication sites believe is a clue to his next work.
Without wasting any time, websites like gamesradar.com and digitaltrends.com are covering a new Kojima tweet. However, the latter website pulled this interview up between Kojima and Rocket Beans Gaming, where the creator of Death Stranding elaborates on making a “scary” title. Kojima’s answer starts at 30:31:
In case you may have skipped out on the above video, Kojima says he wants to challenge the horror genre and tackle it one day, further elaborating:
“I want to do a horror game one day, yes of course. I have some new ideas that I think kind of get out there. But I don’t know when. I’ll have to think about when I bring this out. Horror, when it comes to movies…You can kind of close your eyes watching a really fearful thing. Games are different than movies. If you close your eyes in a movie you can make it go away and the movie continues, but in games, it’s interactive. You have to move forward yourself.”
Looking back to the piece that Digital Trends has up, the site found the following tweet by Kojima mentioning that if he wants to make the scariest horror game he must watch the 2002 Thai film The Eye:
As to make the scariest horror game, I’ll watch the scary movies in order to awaken my horror soul. THE EYE is the Thai horror movie I rent when making PT but was too scary to finish watching. The package is scary so I rented the disc only. Will I be able to finish watching? pic.twitter.com/BVwPruUAvt

I should note that some people believe that he’s referring to PT, but others believe he’s teasing a horror game to come years later. However it goes, there’s no denying that Kojima is fascinated in the horror genre and wants to make a “spooky” video game as per his interview with Rocket Beans Gaming.
With all of that said, would you want to see Kojima challenge the horror genre in gaming, or could you do without said project hitting the games market?
