Hideo Kojima: I am afraid of death and dementia! Fortunately, my son has become independent

　　Hyuo Kojima is currently 61 years old and is still engaged in the development of games on the front line. Especially after Konami, who had been working for 29 years, left his job, he founded his own game company and launched his first new IP "Death Stranding" series. His second work "Death Stranding 2" will also be released on June 26.

Recently, Hideo Kojima talked about his fear of death and his son in an interview.

According to an exclusive interview with foreign media GQ magazine, Hideo Kojima talked about the 10 years since Konami left, and admitted that what he feared the most was time, death and dementia. He was afraid that he would start to forget things when he got old, and might not even realize what he had forgotten.

At the same time, he also mentioned again that the opening scene of "Death Stranding 2" was originally planned to be filmed in 2020, but due to the epidemic, the game expected to be launched in 2023 can only be postponed to the present.

　　In the interview, Hideo Kojima talked about his two sons rarely. He revealed that he would watch movies with his sons, and mentioned that after becoming a father, the child will become the center of the family at the beginning, and sometimes he will lose the focus, and losing the focus may lead to divorce. But Hideo Kojima's own focus has not changed, that is his job.

Hyuo Kojima recalled his single state when he was in his 20s. At that time, he kept working, working 20 hours a day, and didn't even take a weekend. But after having a family, changes must be made. He believed that family was the most important period, and he devoted all his energy to those 10 years, and laughed: "After that stage, the children will start to ignore you." Now Hideo Kojima's sons have grown up and independent, so he returned to his working state when he was in his 20s. But now he feels that there is not much time left, and every hour and every day passes very quickly.
