Metal Gear mastermind Hideo Kojima joins VR studio Prologue Immersive’s advisory board

Hideo Kojima is one of the few developers in the game industry who carries enough name recognition that his mere presence onstage, barely speaking a word, will send an entire auditorium into a frenzy. I know, because I was there when it happened a few months ago during Sony’s Electronic Entertainment Expo 2016 PlayStation press conference.

Late last year, after leaving Konami in spectacular fashion, the Metal Gear Solid creator established a partnership with Sony. Then at E3, Kojima was onstage to debut the announcement trailer for his perplexing, yet strangely intriguing upcoming project, Death Stranding. It’s unclear whether or not that project or any others he is working on will include VR support, but he is certainly a fan of the immersive technology.
