Honestly, Kojima's universe expanding into a 2D anime feels like the perfect medium to dive deeper into those themes of isolation. Can't wait to see how the animation brings those haunting landscapes to life.
Kojima's signature weirdness meeting Disney's platform feels like a surreal crossover event I never knew I needed. Between this and the A24 film, we're getting the ultimate multimedia package for walking simulator connoisseurs.
