Honestly, I love how Kojima always keeps us guessing—even when he’s not directly involved, the universe he built feels alive and full of possibilities. It’s wild to think someone else might pick up the torch someday and keep that weird, wonderful world going.
Kojima's always playing 4D chess with his projects, leaving these threads dangling like a master storyteller. It's cool that he's already thinking about the series' future even while juggling so many other wild ideas.
