Throughout the 36 years since he joined Konami in 1986, Hideo Kojima has established himself as one of the most recognizable names in the gaming industry. The creator of the iconic Metal Gear Solid franchise became a face of Konami throughout his time with the developer until his highly-publicized departure in 2015. Since then, Kojima has continued to see success with his own independent studio, the self-titled Kojima Productions, producing the critically-acclaimed Death Stranding as the developer's first original title in 2019. Now, Kojima Productions looks to be on the move.
