The legendary video game creator Hideo Kojima revealed his ambitious desire to become the first developer in history to create a video game from outer space.
Inspired by Tom Cruise's feats, who seeks to film in Earth's orbit, Kojima proposes an unprecedented experience that combines space exploration with creative innovation.
From Earth to space: the new frontier of creation
Kojima, 61 years old and responsible for franchises such as Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding, confessed that his intention goes beyond space tourism. He wants to live for several months on the International Space Station (ISS), with the goal of developing a video game in an environment completely foreign to everyday life.
"I want to train properly, learn how to do the docking," he assured, marking his commitment to the full experience of being a developer astronaut.
Tom Cruise as inspiration: crossing cinema and video games
The parallel with Tom Cruise is not accidental. Both artists share a fascination with pushing the physical and narrative boundaries of their respective media. Cruise plans to shoot real scenes in space for a new Mission Impossible installment, while Kojima explores the possibility of creating narrative and gameplay influenced by the orbital experience.
