Kojima recently went through a very public breakup with Konami, a publisher with whom he created games - including Metal Gear Solid titles - for about 30 years. The departure came as Konami killed off Silent Hills, a reboot of the horror franchise, that was to be the result of a collaboration between Kojima and del Toro with voice acting by Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead).

Now Kojima is working on building his new studio and a new game for Sony. I sat down with Kojima shortly before he took the stage with Del Toro at DICE Summit, to discuss his future and breaking up with Konami, Metal Gear and Silent Hill.
