Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima is all set to release his next game, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, in just a few days. As the creator looks to the future with his horror game OD and his stealth-action game Physint, he’s also looking to the stars with dreams of making video games in space.

Kojima explained in a recent interview that he wants to be the first game developer to successfully create a video game in outer space. As movie star Tom Cruise aims to create a movie on the International Space Station, Kojima wants to do the same for video games.

Speaking to The Guardian, Kojima revealed his intentions to make some form of video game in space. While the Death Stranding creator doesn’t have a concrete plan for what game he would create, he wants to “train” to be able to handle the effects of low-gravity in space.

“I want to train properly, learn how to do the docking, go to the International Space Station and stay there for a few months,” the Metal Gear Solid creator said. “I’m not a scientist, but I could probably make games in space. I want to be the first. There are a lot of astronauts over 60, so I guess it’s possible.”

Hideo Kojima joked that the lack of gravity in space wouldn’t “irritate his bad back”, and that he has started to developer “Tom Cruise disease” as he gets the urge to risk his life to find “out his worth”.

The Metal Gear Solid creator has spoken in numerous interviews as of late regarding the latter years of his life. With games taking so long to make, the video game auteur is aiming to make as many different games as possible in his remaining decades. For example, while the developer has plans for a Death Stranding 3, he has confirmed that someone else will have to make it.

After finishing up work on Death Stranding 2, Kojima Productions will be going on a short break, but Hideo Kojima himself will immediately go to work on his next title. Unfortunately, there’s no planned release date for the upcoming game at the time of writing.
