In recent times, Hideo Kojima has primarily been engaged with his project, the action-exploration game “Death Stranding,” but he remains widely recognized for creating the “Metal Gear” series. Developed under Konami, this franchise became a cornerstone of the stealth-action genre, pioneering innovative ideas in narrative, cinematic style, and gameplay. The original game was launched in 1987, introducing the character Solid Snake who has since become an icon. However, it was during the PlayStation 1 era with the release of “Metal Gear Solid” that the series truly gained popularity. This update on the franchise took advantage of new 3D graphics technology. Although a remake of “Metal Gear Solid 3” is due later this year, Kojima has yet to announce plans for more games in the series—apart from “Physint.” Though not an official “Metal Gear” game, it’s seen as Kojima’s return to the action-espionage genre, but fans will have to wait a significant amount of time before they can play it.
