Death Stranding Guillermo del Toro PS4 PlayStation 4 1

All's well that ends well, really. Alright, so we didn't get Silent Hills in the end, but Hideo Kojima has returned to the limelight, and Death Stranding comfortably looks like one of the most fascinating projects in Sony's portfolio. Heck, it's even got actor Norman Reedus and director Guillermo del Toro in it – two people who were supposed to be involved in the aforementioned survival horror.

But del Toro's doesn't give up a grudge easily, it seems. Writing a Christmas message on Twitter prior to the big day, the Pan's Labyrinth maker said: "Important holiday messages that ring true today as they always have: Feliz Navidad. Happy Holidays. F*ck Konami." The tweet naturally got lots of attention, and has been shared thousands of times at the time of typing.

For those out of the loop, del Toro – who's close friends with Kojima – was angered by the way the auteur was treated by upper-management at Konami, which ultimately led to his exit last year. He was also frustrated by the cancellation of Silent Hills – particularly after the success of the sensational P.T. demo. This isn't the first time he's called the company out, and it doesn't look like it'll be the last.
