How Hideo Kojima and Metal Gear Solid Made Me a Leftist

Hideo Kojima is the legendary auteur game director behind the Metal Gear Solid game. The franchise is over the top, crazy and surreal but it also has a core set of ideals that are consistent in every game. While the anti-nuclear weapons theme is the most prominent, the series also is anti-colonialism, anti-war and often pro-socialist. I break down how the series impacted my own politics and helped me break free from western centric views of history and politics.

In a statement issued on Kojima's official Twitter accounts and Kojima Productions' LinkedIn page, the Metal Gear creator said the studio was hiring for various roles at its Tokyo office. In 2015, Kojima Productions split from Konami, becoming an independent studio. It released its first game, Death Stranding, in 2019. Without any information on the new game from Kojima, we're left to speculate. Everything from Death Stranding 2 to a new Silent Hill has been rumoured since work wrapped up on Death Stranding. - Back in January 2020, Kojima suggested he was keen to work on multiple projects alongside his next "big game", including manga, anime, episodic titles, and digital-only games." -
