16th December 2020 will mark five years since Hideo Kojima formally announced he had left Japanese publisher Konami to form his own studio, named Kojima Productions. Sony immediately snapped the creator up and confirmed the developer's first title would be a PlayStation 4 console exclusive. That went on to become what we now know as the excellent Death Stranding. Now, Kojima and co plan to celebrate turning five by sharing "some exciting updates" with the world.
In a tweet, the official Kojima Productions Twitter account said: "December 16ᵗʰ marks the 5ᵗʰ Anniversary of #KojimaProductions ! Keep an eye out tomorrow on our social channels at 12AM (NYC), 5AM (UK), 6AM (CET) and 2PM (JP) as we'll be delivering some exciting updates you won't want to miss!"
So, what could those updates be? The studio loves its merchandise, so we wouldn't be surprised to see one of these reveals taken up by a new range of clothing. But there has to be more to it than that, right? We're celebrating a birthday here! A PlayStation 5 version of Death Stranding is another option, and so too is a brand new game announcement. The latter would probably command a stage presence, however, so we reckon the former is much more likely.
What do you want to see out of Kojima Productions? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Death Stranding on PS5 and teaser of new game ?
That would be my guess
I'd be super happy with a PS5 upgrade for Death Stranding, it's a title I initially skipped but still want to play.
Rumoured MGS remake would blow everyone's socks off.
I'd love a free PS5 upgrade for Death Stranding and maybe an announcement of the next game. I don't need to see anything, just the name would be nice.
I'm not expecting anything more than new merchandise. Hope to be pleasantly surprised!
A game that's silent hill in all but name
Enjoying DS right now, but not enough that I would buy it again for my PS5. An upgrade patch would be nice, though.
PS5 upgrade here we go!
Well surely they have to be teasing a game announcement of some kind otherwise whats the point in this tease?
@skxnkwxlkr
Seeing as he doesn't own the rights to MGS, that would indeed be very sock blowing.
I almost hope it's not a PS5 upgrade for DS as that means I'd end up spending even more time on top of the 250 hrs I've apparently put into it. That's the trouble with those extra stats on PS5.
If a PS5 upgrade is announced, with it being so cheap in the sale right now, watch it shoot back to the top of the charts.
@Icey664 Fair point, I tend to forget that. I agree it's unlikely for Kojima to be involved if Konami decides to make it happen.
Sony buys them just do it aready sony
I got overly excited about MGS then realised that they don't own the rights.
Gutted.
Hmmm could be Death stranding going to Xbox or either Sony or Microsoft have aquired them.
Would love to revisit it on the PS5! I was working on the Platinum trophy but had a trip planned for January and spent 3 weeks away from home (and the game). When I came back, try as I might, I couldn't get back in "the groove", and gave up on the Platinum... Still, had a blast with the game and even got the CE!
I hope it's death stranding ps5 upgrade, 60 fps is nice but this game is made for the dualsense 😃
More non exclusive multi plats i assume
PS5 upgrade for Death Stranding would be ace as I haven't actually go round to starting the game.
PT - the full game. I'd even settle for just PT the PS5 upgraded version so I can finally sell my PS4 Pro.
Another here for a free upgrade to a PS5 version. Thank you please.
4k 60fps death stranding please!
It's done on PC version I believe so hopefully they can twiddle the knobs in the background and turn it all up to 11.
Hi there fellow gamers.
So this is new to me. I had no idea that Kojima Productions was "born" in the same day of my bithday, 16th December.
That´s kinda awesome in my book.
Wich means yours truly will be getting an signed copy of Death Stranding PS5 BB eddition......... If only 😜
But yeah, a PS5 version as well as a free upgrade for PS5 would be "pretty good".
PS: my real name is David. Just like not one, but two spy heroes. Ain´t that something.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
He announces ALL THA GAMES!! ALL OF THEM!
It can't be very big news otherwise it would've been announced at Kojima's buddy's Game Awards, surely? (watch this comment age horribly)
Happy Birthday Koj squad! Konami done did you wrong!
@wiiware Yep I would 100% play this again with a PS5 upgrade and full DualSense support. Just imagining hiking through the snow, triggers resisting my steps, and my controller making all kinds of weird textures telling me there's a BT nearby. It's meant to be!!
@Ear_wiG After watching astro playroom previews/reviews that says you can feels the difference between surfaces in astro, the first game that I remember is death stranding. Like seriously, I think dualsense support is more important than 60 fps in this game lol.
Level 50 for MGS5 incoming!
I can’t think of a single other company more suited to do something super cool with the Dualsense.
I have wanted to play this since it came out but have held off for the PS5 update that I hope is coming! Doing the same with Ghost of Tsushima and I so badly want to Platinum TLOU Part II but I know that upgrade will be coming at some point......
I bet it's Iron Transmission Liquid: Cobra's Legacy. Absolutely not a ripoff of a game Capcom murdered
If it's a DS upgrade for PS5 they better be quick! I'm in Chapter 3 with no intend of taking a break!
I'm getting a bit fed up with remakes now in general. Just give me new games. 🤣👍
Knowing Kojima, it's going to be some sort of tease of a tease of a tease mind-f***.
(Which is fine by me) 😁
Do they just randomly post messages on Twitter or is there any life stream? So far we got merch and a wallpaper...
Lol that was underwhelming!
It would just kill them to say "Yes, we are making PS5 version of DS, but it will take a bit, bc we're making a new game for you guys" or "There will be no PS5 version, sorry guys…"
Just keep people in expectation of nothing. That is awesome and it sells more games too. I will definitely buy Death Stranding now, not knowing if this will or won't happen. (Don't know if my sarcastic English works, sorry guys…)
Id love a ps5 version of DS. I finished the game and had one trophy left for the platinum when my baby son poured coffee over my pro. It fried the console and I lost my saves. A ps5 version would give me an excuse to replay it and get that damn trophy.
Come ooooonnnn Soundless Hillsides!
Bring out the kojima productions-sneakers i saw hideo wearing on his insta!
Annnnd it was nothing.....
“we'll be delivering some exciting updates you won't want to miss!”
Wow. Talk about over hyping.
Maybe I'm missing it, but doesn't seem like it was anything more than a couple thank you vids?
@wiiware Agreed, it would be seriously epic immersion!
@NathanUC ah really, I just remembered now and thought I'd check comments. So it was literally just thanks vids? Why hype it up like that disappointed
@B-I-G-DEVIL This is the most likely scenario! Great news too since I stopped playing PS4 copy super early.
