Hideo Kojima has hinted that he wants to make a new game that will be focusing on the horror genre. In a tweet, the Death Stranding creator said that he wants to make the scariest horror game, and is planning to watch horror movies for ideas.
This will not be the first horror game by Kojima, as he has previously worked on P.T. The game designer also said that the game was highly inspired by a Thai horror film called The Eye. Apparently, it was so scary for him to watch that he was unable to finish the film.
As to make the scariest horror game, I’ll watch the scary movies in order to awaken my horror soul. THE EYE is the Thai horror movie I rent when making PT but was too scary to finish watching. The package is scary so I rented the disc only. Will I be able to finish watching? pic.twitter.com/BVwPruUAvt

In an interview last month to Rocker Beans Gaming, Kojima talked about his interest in working on a horror video game.
I want to do a horror game one day, yes of course. I have some new ideas that I think kind of get out there. But I don’t know when. I’ll have to think about when I bring this out. Horror, when it comes to movies…You can kind of close your eyes watching a really fearful thing. Games are different than movies. If you close your eyes in a movie you can make it go away and the movie continues, but in games, it’s interactive. You have to move forward yourself.
From all of this, it is not clear what Kojima is planning to develop next. It can be that he is still in exploring the possibility of a horror game. It might get fans wondering about the Silent Hills series, which was shut down by Konami. But since the rights of the game are still owned by Konami, Kojima will have to work on something completely new.
