Legendary videogame developer Hideo Kojima joins VR studio Prologue Immersive
Renowned Japanese videogame developer, screenwriter, director, and producer Hideo Kojima has joined the advisory board of virtual reality company Prologue Immersive.
Kojima – one of the videogame industry’s biggest names – joins Prologue, a company dedicated to building “medium defining content and software for virtual and augmented reality”.
Kojima has a strong portfolio in his own right, having worked on major franchises such as Metal Gear Solid, Zone of Enders and P.T,, the popular precursor to the since-cancelled Silent Hills reboot.
Working with Kimberly Cooper, co-founder and CEO of Prologue Immersive, and partner Kyle Cooper, Kojima joins a company which has pedigree in Hollywood, helping to create blockbusters such as Iron Man, Prometheus, SE7EN, Godzilla, and Tron, as well as playing a part in creating some of the most successful videogame franchises including Metal Gear Solid and Destiny.
“I’m very excited to hear that masters of the visual arts such as Kyle Cooper and his team are taking on yet another challenge in this digital interactive media that is VR,” said Kojima.
“Through VR, I am certain they will strive to connect films and video games and take us on to that bridge to the future that lies ahead. It would be my absolute pleasure to assist the Coopers on this new adventure they are embarking on. We can expect a whole new world of entertainment. 2016 will surely be remembered as Year One for VR.”
