KOJIMA WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE A MATRIX GAME Anonymous 10/27/25(Mon)14:54:23 No.724334914

KONAMI SAID NO

>Hideo Kojima had a "strong interest" in making a Matrix game after being pitched on the idea by Lana and Lilly Wachowski, but Konami wasn't as keen.
>Time Extension interviewed former vice president of licensing at Konami Digital Entertainment, Christopher Bergstresser, about a report from NextGen magazine that Hideo Kojima's team at Konami was a forerunner in developing a game based on The Matrix.
>Bergstresser recalled that "The Wachowskis were big fans of Kojima" and that "we got a call from the Wachowskis, who wanted to come in and meet with Kojima. So they did!"
>The meeting consisted of Bergstresser, Kojima, Aki Saito (head of communications at Kojima Productions), and the former CEO of Konami Digital Entertainment, Kazumi Kitaue. Bergstresser recalls, "The two of them came in with their concept artist, and effectively they said to Kojima, 'We really want you to do the Matrix game. Can you do that?'
>"However, after Saito translated the request for Kitaue, he allegedly "just looked at them and told them plainly, 'no.'" Although it wasn't all bad, as "We did still get to enjoy the Matrix Japanese premiere and afterparty, though."
>Time Extension also spoke to an anonymous former Konami employee who claims Kojima would continue to "show strong interest" in making the game after the meeting and that there was "immense disappointment" among members of his team.
