“I’ll Probably Become an AI and Stick Around”– Death Stranding 2 Creator Hideo Kojima Reveals He Will Possibly Have a Rebirth After His Death 100 Years Into the Future

Popular video game designer and director Hideo Kojima is known for his unique style of working on several projects. There’s hardly anyone else who has a vision like him in the gaming world. Death Stranding and Metal Gear series are perfect examples of his unmatched intelligence. Probably that’s the reason Kojima Productions has now established itself as an acclaimed studio.

But how will Kojima Productions survive when Hideo Kojima himself is gone forever? Being a human being, it’s quite obvious that he will also leave his body and become a legend in the future. However, the creator seemingly has a backup plan ready for this possibility going forward.

Hideo Kojima says he will become an AI after death and will keep working on future games made by his studio

Mr. Kojima recently sat down with the media outlet IGN for an in-depth interview. He talked about all the possible things related to his ongoing projects, his plans for Death Stranding 2, and how its production began in the first place.

While discussing various aspects revolving around game creation, he was asked an interesting question about the possibility of not being around in the next 50 or 100 years. To be precise, IGN asked him what exactly he would like to leave behind at Kojima Productions while it continues into the future. To this, Hideo Kojima replied by giving an extremely unexpected answer.

“I’ve never really thought about that. I’ll keep leading so long as I’m around, and all that matters to me is that our roots when it comes to creation are kept intact.” he said.

Moreover, he mentioned that being around Kojima Productions will be a possible after all. “I’ll probably become an AI and stick around. You need to be stimulated in lots of different ways if you want to keep creating new things, so I imagine I’ll keep collaborating with others and taking in new things even if I’m an AI.”

Well, that’s an interesting situation to imagine a hundred years from now. A glimpse of that was already revealed in 2020 when CD Projekt RED’s Cyberpunk 2077 featured him as an in-game character. Fans will surely love to see him exist for eternity as an AI. What are your thoughts on Kojima’s vision after his death? Let us know in the comments down below.
