Kojima's next project could be a game, anime, film, "or something totally different"

Hideo Kojima has signed with talent agency WME to “traffic control all that [he does]” and “handle exchanges with all the actors” he wants to work with, hinting that his next project may not even be a video game.
In an interview with Variety, Kojima admitted that whilst up until this point, he had “personally” been able to make the links and connections he needed, it had “become difficult to manage on [his] own”. Consequently, he’s signed with WME’s “very powerful” team to “work with talented people from around the world and create something new”.
