We need to talk about the new Kojima Productions office. Hideo Kojima is a bit of a weird unit. I think we all know that by now. Though he is, by all accounts, a very nice man, he is also the creative mind behind a Rollerblading Big Boy, Holographic Conan O’Brien, Mario And Princess Beach, and Portable Baby In A Jar You Can Hear Through The Controller. Further confirming Kojima’s Weird Unit status are the recent renovations to the Kojima Productions office, which has been converted into a profoundly over-the-top space for its employees to work in. The theme is: Anything Goes Creative Dream Space Meets Kubrickian Starship. Remember that this is the building that will produce Death Stranding 2. We’re really setting the tone here. I mean, first things first: that voiceover is, I think, supposed to sound like legendary Solid Snake voice-over David Hayter, but … I don’t believe it’s actually him? Weird. Second, what the hell is going on in this office? There’s a real mix of nightmarish Kubrickian white rooms and ultra-clean Ikea catalogue furniture going on here. Let’s go down the list.
