Ito, who worked with Kojima and Guillermo del Toro on the canceled Silent Hills project and made a cameo in Deadly Thread, confirmed that he was talking about a potential new horror project, and Kojima invited him to work on it.“So the simple answer is ‘no,'” Ito’s translator Junko Goda said. “However, I know director Kojima and we talked about him having a horror-based game that he can do, so he invited me to work on it, but there are no details about him yet.”
Although this vague answer does not confirm that Kojima’s next project will be a horror game, it’s great to see that he’s still trying to work with Ito, after the promise of what it could be for Silent Hills.
Kojima recently revealed that a “big project” has recently been scrapped and that his next game will have nothing to do with Metal Gear Solid or PT
Last month, however, a Kojima tweet may have been annoyed that this next project could be a sequel to Death Stranding or could take place inside.
In 2017, Kojima also admitted that he did not want to make a “horror game”, but this does not exclude that any future project led by him may include elements of horror, and it is there that Ito can be a perfect form.
