A new report suggests that Hideo Kojima is working on a PlayStation VR 2 game in collaboration with none other than award-winning virtual reality storyteller Celine Tricart. Twitter user Oops Leaks, who’s recent reports have been backed up by trusted insiders, claims to have received “unconfirmed” information that one of Kojima Productions’ “smaller” upcoming project involves PSVR 2, a prototype (or dev kit) of which he received back in November 2021.
Why Kojima’s rumored to be working on a PSVR 2 game
Kojima recently revealed that he’s working on two projects, one of which is a “big” title and the other has been described as “a new challenge.” He later tweeted that he’s toying with something “radical.” Kojima and Tricart are no strangers to each other and the duo were previously part of the Venice Film Festival’s grand jury for VR submissions. The revered veteran developer has also expressed his desire to experiment with VR before.
All of this could just be a coincidence, of course, but the idea of Kojima making a PSVR 2 game isn’t outside the realm of possibility and doesn’t seem like a stretch. That said, he remains somewhat of an elusive figure so you never know what he’s working on.

Opinion: A Kojima PSVR 2 game is just what Sony needs
Zarmena writes… You’ve heard me ramble before about PSVR 2 needing a robust library for people to take the plunge or upgrade. Slap on “A Hideo Kojima Game” and chances are, you’ll have people rushing to give it a shot. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned in the last five years, it’s to never trust any report involving Kojima-san because 9/10 times you end up getting trolled. Take this one with a huge customary grain of salt.
