New Game Today:
<p><img src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2022/06/27/e898eb88/the_boys_kojima.jpg" width="800" height="450" alt="The Boys Hideo Kojima Game" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-body-default" /></p> <p><em>The Boys</em> is one of the most popular shows on television right now, with Season 3 currently underway. It’s a brutal show, with hilarious satire and multiple wild characters, but it seemingly didn’t hold the interest of Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding director Hideo Kojima. </p> <p>That’s because he quit after watching three episodes of Season 1, but the reason might have to do with more than just interest in the series. In a new series of tweets first spotted by <em><a href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/hideo-kojima-says-he-shelved-a-game-concept-due-to-similarity-to-the-boys/" target="_blank">Video Games Chronicle</a></em>, Kojima has revealed that at one point in the past (likely 2019, which is when the first season of <em>The Boys</em> aired), he was making something similar in concept to <em>The Boys</em>. In fact, he put it on hold because of its similarity. </p> “<em>The Boys</em>, which I quit after 3 episodes of Season 1. I thought I’d watch the rest of the show. Actually, I watched a few episodes that were delivered at the time when I was about to start a project that I had been warming up for a long time and put on hold because the concept was similar (different settings and tricks). A buddy (male/female) thing with a special detective squad facing off against legendary heroes behind the scenes. I was thinking of Mads as the lead.” <blockquote class="tw-align-center twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">1/2<br /> "THE BOYS," which I quit after 3 episodes of season 1.

However, there are a lot of Kojima and fans of <em>The Boys </em>that really want the director to return to this idea, including Homelander actor Anthony Starr, who replied with “Second that notion” to a tweet from <em>The Boys</em> writer and producer, Eric Kripke, that says “please come make a <em>The Boys</em> game. We can team up and conquer! Huge fan, btw.” </p> <p>Kojima is currently <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/xbox-games-showcase/2022/06/12/hideo-kojima-and-xbox-team-up" target="_blank">working on some kind of project for Xbox at the moment</a>, and <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/2022/05/20/norman-reedus-seems-to-have-revealed-a-death-stranding-sequel-is-happening" target="_blank">apparently a sequel to Death Stranding as well</a>, but perhaps after those, he can take another crack at this <em>Boys</em>-like game. Or maybe even make a game for <em>The Boys</em> – one of its stars and its writer are on board with it, at least. </p> <p><em>[Source: <a href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/hideo-kojima-says-he-shelved-a-game-concept-due-to-similarity-to-the-boys/" target="_blank">Video Games Chronicle</a>]</em></p> <p><em>Do you want to see Kojima make this game?
