Hideo Kojima and Kojima Productions' first official video game, Death Stranding, is behind them, and that means it's time to seriously look into what comes next for the developers there. Not that the folks there haven't already been working on something or other, of course. (That's game development for you.) But it would appear that Kojima, specifically, is putting in the hours while nobody is around on whatever the next concept is.

Kojima himself has posted several enigmatic posts to social media over the last couple days about "working on the next concept" with photos of his workstation. Whether the various odds and ends included, like books and other media, are relevant to whatever might come next is impossible to say at this point. There's no telling what threads Kojima and crew might pull from what source material, and we'll all just have to wait and see.

Whatever it is, Kojima seems intent to get going despite the holiday season. Or, perhaps, because of it? Maybe the next "strand" game will see folks playing as Santa.

Maybe I was too tired I slept over this morning. I wanted to go see Last Christmas 1st thing in the morning but realized today was Christmas Eve. Me as an old man going to the theater by myself on this day? I changed my plan to stay in my office working on my next concept. pic.twitter.com/6dleNPEJmJ

While I was writing the concept for the next project I found the old documents in my computer, I miss those early days of working on DS presentation doc. pic.twitter.com/ZnSSXwslr9
