The latest issue of the famous Japanese games magazine, Famitsu, features an interview with Hideo Kojima that sheds some light on his upcoming PlayStation 4 console exclusive game.
Hideo Kojima is known for creating and evolving the Metal Gear franchise all the way from 1987 and through 2015. It would be a safe bet for the Japanese game director to put his weight behind a new stealth game, but he decided to take advantage of his forced fresh start to explore another genre.
"While not to say that it’s open-world, users who enjoy today’s AAA games (The Division and Uncharted, etc.) will be able to easily enjoy it,". "When it is announced, you might think ‘that’s not that outstanding,’ but you’ll understand when you see it and play it. The genre is action."
Kojima was asked why he decided to work on his new game with Sony. In response, he revealed that Sony was the only publisher who "put their faith in him" and agreed to let him work freely on his next game without having a detailed design upfront.
