Speaking at the New York premiere of the documentary about his life and work, Connected Worlds, Kojima was asked what he wants to achieve in the future. In response, he said that "I want to go to outer space. I want to go to outer space and create a game you can play in space. So please someone send me up to space."

Hideo Kojima loves to drop little references to Hideo Kojima in his games – and Death Stranding 2 is no different – but he's admitted that it's all him, and that his team at Kojima Productions won't humor him.

Hideo Kojima takes to social media to celebrate Death Stranding 2: On the Beach’s success and to express gratitude to everyone involved.
