Hideo Kojima Explains How the Concept of Connection Came to Be in Death Stranding

The head of Kojima Productions has spoken about how the concept of connection used in the Death Stranding duology came about.

According to Hideo Kojima, it was based on the experiences of the game designer himself, which happened after he left Konami. At that time, Kojima was worried that he would have nothing to do. He had spent the previous two decades working on the Metal Gear series and believed that gamers loved him only for it. However, after founding a new company and releasing Death Stranding, Kojima realized that he had always had a much closer connection with his fans than he could have imagined.

Thanks to this, Death Stranding turned out the way we know it.
