Hideo Kojima is 58 years old and promises to continue to delight everyone with his creative ideas

Legendary game designer Hideo Kojima recently celebrated his 58th birthday, and to mark the occasion, the creator of Metal Gear promised to stay creative for as long as his mind would allow.

In his tweet, Kojima acknowledged that the physical condition of the body is in decline, but creativity is as high as ever.

Although my body is starting to fail me, my creativity is still strong. Until my brain loses its creative power, I will continue to strive to create things. This is my instinct. This is what I love to do. Thank you.

Kojima also reminded his Twitter followers that Brad Pitt is also 58 and Tom Cruise is 59. And while about 95% of Kojima Productions employees work remotely, they still gathered in the office to celebrate this momentous occasion.

Kojima's latest project is Death Stranding, which has sold over 5 million copies. The director's cut of the game will be released in September, and we'll be shown an extended trailer during gamescom on Wednesday. Since Kojima and Xbox have signed a collaboration agreement, the game designer's next project could be exclusive to PC and Xbox.
