Today Hideo Kojima formed a new studio, named Kojima Productions like his former team at Konami.
Following the announcement, the legendary developer also revealed that the new logo has a deeper meaning, which is uplifting and forward-looking like the studio’s mission statement:
“Aiming for the new world with the latest technology and pioneering spirit”
Doesn’t it just make you smile?
1/2 This is new studio’s logo. Looks like a medieval knight and also a space suit.

Kojima-san also confirmed that the new logo has been designed by veteran Metal Gear Solid Character, Environment and Mecha Designer Yoji Shinkawa.
そうです。

Considering the fact that Kojima-san expressed interest in virtual reality before, the fact that the logo basically represents a headset, and the mention of the latest technology, could Kojima-san’s new game be a VR experience?
We have no way to be sure for now, but the idea is definitely intriguing.

Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality) and MMORPGs are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans of the flight simulator genre on Earth.
